Beautiful animals. I am not a boa person, so can you educate me on what a Sears line is?

I believe the name is/was Bob Sears , started his own line of Hog Islands with original WC stock.

If I'm wrong , feel free to correct me.

Thanks. Now another question...are they a local specific or more of a line specific boa?

Local Specific. Hog Island is a rough english translation of the island these came from.

It was believed for years that collectors cleaned the island of snakes but from what I've been hearing its possible they missed some and the wild population is rebounding. I haven't confirmed that yet so don't hold me to it.

So there are not different locals of Hog Island, that in itself is the local?

Yes.

Awesome Bry!!!! You and Laura can put me on the list for a baby. :rockon:

Umm... Wow!

You got it brother. The female is a year away from breeding but we have an adult female that I'm going to pair up next year. Just gotta get pics of her.

Very nice! Now this may just be me talking out of my :ass: but isn't there a lot of problems with people mixing other locales in with the Hogs (and I'm assuming other locales) and then trying to sell them as pure Hog Island Boas? I mean I think they are beautiful but are you sure they are a pure line? Is there such a thing?

I love Hog Islands, I'll likely end up with a pair sometime, just need more $$$ and more space! :lol:

Our adult girl.

Some have yes. There are hypo hogs referred to as het sunset with the Sunset being hypo hog x hypo hog.

I was sold a Hog/CA cross as a bottom end Hog Island and eventually put it down once it was determined it was a cross. The animal had only 1 redeeming quality and it wasn't enough.

Very nice Byron!

Those are some great looking boas. And thanks for all the Q&A with Jenea. Learned some new stuff.

Just doing my job ma'am. :yessir:

LOL. Feel free to ask away. If I can't answer it I'll find the answer or the person you can get an answer from.

WOW those are simply amazing and one day I would love a pair

That dark Hog is saaawweeeeet!

You can add me to that list too Bry! Sweet hogs brother! I had a beautiful hog from Alan Bosch years ago and kick myself for ever selling it.
And you are correct in the name. There is also a line started by the late Loyd Lemke but not sure if there are any pure ones of his line left....

Nice looking hogs Bry Thanks for sharing pic's :yourock:

I stand corrected, Lolo informed me they are not Sears line but are pure Hogs. I guess somebody decided not to put their name to them.

Very nice Hogs Jeff!

wow very nice

Sweet looking boas!! I miss my pair I had back in the day.

Very nice hoggs!! Oh and the info on hogs was great too..
