These photos DO NOT do justice to him AT ALL in person his pinks and blue are soo vivid and beautiful!! In a week I'll get some more photos, little guy is settling in wonderfully!

Anyway time for the good part the pictures!

haha I was too Rachel, then we purchased him and I went from drooling to jumping up and down like a moron!! hahaha



By the way he has no name yet. I would love some suggestions from you all! :]
 
^ I agree :)

Oh man he's gorgeous. I love boas, and they are definately high up on my wishlist for when I move out.

I wish you the best of luck with him. :)

Oh, name-wise, how about Dante?

All the best

Thanks Dave! I'm sure he will do great here. My sister has wanted a boa for years, but I never really cared about them too much until her and Elle had me catch boa fever and I started to do some research to find out different dwarf species, the hog was one of the most attractive and affordable ones so we decided to go for it!

The breeder told us he feeds like a PIG on rats and mice! My sister is literally oozing with excitement of her new little cutie and I have to admit, I'm crazy about him too!! There will definitively be more boas in this house! haha
 
Oh definitely Nanci!
I haven't even had him for a whole day and he is one of my fav. snakes I've come in contact with! He is a little angel!! I would totally suggest one to anyone!!
 
Thanks everyone, hes settling in awesomely.

Hypancistrus, at the moment because he is still a baby he is in a 10 gallon tank and it is a perfect fit for now, when he keeps growing he will get Akasha's old tanks until he out grows her. Then we will either build a very large enclosure, or buy one and make it all nice for him with a few nice decorations and such. He is our first and only 'large' snake (mostly girth-wise), so this is definitely going to be a good experience for both my sister and I because we are both interested in larger pythons and boas. :]
 
LOL its true, I'm hiding a cute little g. rosea. I coulent stop myself from getting her! Shes just SO cute!!!
