Hypo pics

[Ga_herps]

These are the updated pics I told cassadaga I would post. Here is the male that I posted the old pic of in the previous thread.

And here is my adult male that unfortunately decided to be in the first stages of a shed.

Nice! The big male is awesome!

Handsome Boys, does the first male have any Hogg Island influence?

 

[Ga_herps]

Nope not at all. I do not like mixing hogs with normal Colombians. I love hog islands as they are, but never did like when people started mixing them into the hypo Colombians. I know hogs are a naturally occurring form of hypo, but they really are there own insular form. I miss seeing true hogs which really don't get as large as most of the crosses you see today(I believe the pure strain only reaches 5 feet in length). The only guy I trust with hog island boa pure strains is cutting edge herp. Russo has some awesome ones in his collection and I hope to pick up some later this year.

Hmm Interesting, that Male is very handsome either way. I just love his Creamy-Beige Color.

Just because a hypo is light doesn't mean it has hog in its lineage. I have seen some hypo x hog crosses, and they just don't do it for me. As for light hypo's I have seen some almost pale ghost looking with speckles like mine. I plan to breed that one to a good pastel female to clean up the speckles in the offspring. He is also part of my moonglow project which I hope to get some dropping next year from this guy and the female I am growing up that is het for kahl albino, and anery.

I never said it had Hogg Island in its Lineage, it just looks remarkably similar.

I never said you did. I just wanted to clarify that hypo's can be very light without having crossed lineage. I am sorry if you took it as anything other then information. Thankyou for the compliments,
