Cayos de Los Cochinos or Hog Island Boas are very rare & unique. Mine are direct descendants from Hog Island boas collected in the mid Eighties by the late Bob Sears. My Bloodlines are as pure as you can get. They also are a small race of boa and mature and breed at around 5 feet & less. True Blooded Hog Island Boas are Extremely rare in captivity today. My pure blooded bloodline is probably one of the last in existence. So in order to preserve their pure bloodline they are only sold as pairs as I do not recommend breeding my known pure lines into other undocumented boas.  Even the Bronx Zoo has my Hogs on display in their Reptile House ( Photo Below behind Glass ). For more details on my hogs read pages 161 - 167 of my latest Book " The More Complete Boa Constrictor " . 

 Since pure blooded hogs are all virtually identical at birth - NO individual pictures will be sent out of offspring. However - the parents & their litter are pictured below in the last 2 pictures. Email me at Vin@cuttingedgeherp.com as supply is very limited on this rare breed of Boa & litters are less than 10. 

Update 2024 - Hogs were Born here in mid May. 

Very Limited Supply.

Crawl Cay Boas

Crawl Cay is an Island off the East Coast of Belize. It lies just North East of Belize City in the Caribbean and is part of the Turneff Island Archipeligo. The boas from this island are very unique and rare. A very small number of them were collected by the Late Bob Sears back in the Eighties and again in 2002 by Dr Boback for a PHD dissertation. Luckily my friend Gus Rentfro of Texas bred some original Sears line & between his offspring & some from Dr Boback - I started my Pure line of Crawl Cay Boas.  Crawl Cay Boas are true dwarves that max out at about 5 feet. They breed at around 4 feet and can be sustained on a diet of a just a dozen or so meals per year. On their native Crawl Cay they eat Birds as their main diet and youngsters eat geckos. Captive born Crawls have no difficulty getting started on mice - and most readily accept rodents as their first meal. They have a very gray background color with alot of black speckling. The head markings are very speckled too and the tails have just a few small saddles. In my opinion these boas should be classified as a valid subspecies of Boa imperator - but not enough animals are available to do such work & collecting on Crawl Cay is not possible as The Turneffe Archipeligo is a National Reserve & collecting is prohibited. So therefore, the fate of the Crawl Cay Boas population in Captivity is in the hands of responsible Locality Breeders. 

Update 2024- Im hopeful for some Crawl Cays to birth in July. 

These Dwarf Boas are from Cay Caulker, 2 tiny Islands19 miles off the North / East Coast of Belize. I purchased my original Caulkers Cay Boas from Gus Rentfro and his adults came from animals that were captured ( With Permission ) by a grad student directly on Cay Caulker back in the early nineties. These Boas are a true dwarf form of boa and females are known to have reproduced at as little as 45 inches in length. They are similar to Crawl Cay Boas but exhibit less orange. They are almost anerythristic. As of today The Cay Caulker Islands are 2 Islands. But On October 31, 1961 the once single Island was divided into its two North & South sections by a narrow channel courtesy of Hurricane Hattie. The Cay Caulker Forest Reserve, on the northernmost 100 acres of the island, was declared in May of 1998 and a Reserve Headquarters building was built during July and August of 2001. This section of the Island is virtually untouched and is the natural Habitat of the Caulkers Cay Boa. Since the Island has been declared a Reserve there will be no Collecting from this Island and the only way to obtain Caulkers Cay Boas is by Captive Breeding. I am fortunate enough to have a nice group of these Beautiful true Dwarfs. None this year 2024

These Boas are a dwarf Island form from the Corn Islands off the coast of Nicaragua. This Island is locally know as " The Isle de Maize ". This is probably one of the rarest Boas in Captivity today. In 1995 only 2 Captive Born Litters were imported commercially to the U.S. from Corn Island, Nicaragua. Permits were granted that one time for 21 baby Boas. But since that time the Island has become a Nature Preserve and Permits will most likely not be granted again. My friend Gus Rentfro of Rio Bravo Reptiles acquired 3.3 of the 21 imported Babies. I have a nice group of Adults here that originated from the original 21 imports & Captive Born youngsters from Gus's efforts.
