Hypo Hogs aren't necessarily 75% Hog...depends who you get them from. There are no pure hypo Hogs. They are all crossed with a hypo colombian somewhere in the line. Sunsets are a specific line produced by D&M breeders. My poss. super hypo hog is a hypo x Hog x Colombian pastel I don't remember exactly how those were combined, it took a few generations though. I posted pix of her on Halloween, she's the one I named "Pumpkin". Mine came from Gulf Coast Reptiles and the parents are 6 foot (from what Sheila told me)

Check out this link to "Rio Bravo Reptiles" regarding Island Boas. Scroll to the bottom for some great info (size, etc,) on the Hog Island Boas.

If you want a "Pure" Hog, Gus has produced some of the healthiest, well-patterend and beautifully colored Hog Island Boas around. We picked up a female from him about a month ago and she is really a knock-out! I personally enjoy examples which are closer to their natural colors and patterns in contrast to the Hypo Hoggs (to each is own ).

Hope this helps!

Rob

Here's a fairly recent picture of my normal Hog. Her name's "Oink" she's a Sear's line Hog, although i don't know if she's a blue or orange phase. As for the Hypo Hog, I bought her just because she was pretty.
