Not to flame anyone but that site has loads of bad info on it. If you have the time to filter out the bad info from the good info, then good luck

	Boa Constrictor Imperator Boa Constrictor (Boa constrictor imperator). Most common is the Colombian Boa.

Basically the care for a Hog Island is the exact same of a Colombian. They generally require less space due to smaller adult size, but some animals will get well past 6 feet, and adult size (as with all species)largely depends on genetics and their feeding regimen. As a rule, they are more nervous then Colombians, especially as babies, some calm down, some don't. I love having mine around.

Ya, some of its ok but then a lot if bull stuff

[iheartsnakes]

I saw your snake! It's awsome!

[Andy_G]

Thanks!

Jake, I definitely agree with you. A lot of the stuff on that site is junk and very inaccurate.

The best way to learn about keeping certain species online is to investigate as many sources as possible, and once you have read everything you can, put it all together and ask the more experienced folks on forums such as this one what is best. I myself am new to keeping BCC, and from the reading I have learned as wel as talking to others, the topic of feeding yields a lot of personal opinions, probably none of which are wrong. Not many "golden rules" in this hobby!

	Boa Constrictor Constrictor Red Tail Boa Constrictor (Boa constictor constrictor). Refers to "true" red tail boas such as the Guyana and Suriname locales.
