Her "brother," the BCC, is pretty close, but he's still very young, and we will have to see with time.īoas can get large, but are not necessarily meant to be huge snakes, especially BCI. She's the friendliest and most inquisitive animal I have when out and almost seems to enjoy being handled. My BCI female would happily take my hand off for food when in her tank and in food mode, but once rubbed a few times with the hook, is a total sweetheart. I always recommend hook training any snake that can get over 5 feet and has a strong food response, and/or can do damage. Once they grow out of the, "are you going to eat me?" phase, they are usually puppy dog tame. In general, and I've heard this from several breeders, including Vin Russo (who told me not to buy a Dwarf BCI when I asked him - and he sells them) and Tommy Carpenter (who I did buy my Venezuelan Dwarf BCC/True Red Tail from), they can very active, and nippy, and feisty, but again, it depends on the individual.īCI's have a much, much, better reputation, even as youngsters, of being very tame/docile. I've heard mixed things on all dwarf Boa's for the most part. Crosses exist, such as Hypo Hog and Sunglow BCI, and they run in the $300-500 range. Not 100% sure on the locale Hog Island, but I can find out with a quick email to a breeder friend.
I do understand how to care for snakes after extensive research (1 year now), so i will not starve my snake or keep the humidity too low, etc. So i realized that i want a hog island boa more than a ball python, but this would be my first snake.
