Sub sahara ball python

I'd love to see a picture of the new girl you got Paul!!

Im gonna pull few older female balls I have. My oldest is about 14 now she is maxed out as far as size not much has changed with her in a few yrs. I'm gonna try to get side by side shots. Hopefully wife will help with this. I gotta go out and ship out few balls after work. After I make and eat dinner I will snap some pics.

Here is a shot when I put her in her tub. There is not a whole lot to compare her to. Hopefully wife helps me snap some pics tonight

Just for an idea, here's a shot of the head of mine. She really is way bigger than a regular ball. I can't believe people have to question this so much just because the name of "sub saharan" or "Volta" was given to it. I guess you just have to see it in person to understand...oh well.

Very nice Clark

I had several just depends on what region they were collected who really know where they came from "but they all come from sub saharen africa"

Yes we know that but that seems to be the name that stuck does it make sense no. But do half the names made up for snakes make sense. When u say sub sahara snake most people know that it refers to. Big ball

just for fun, heres my vid of a large girl. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcSCH7Ndb7c
she produced this girl
and she was the runt, and is now this big in less than 3 years

do i think its genetic? yes. We will see over time i guess and shes now pairing with this guy, a butter ghost

BTW i was told "Ghana" not sub Saharan?

I would be interested, ok, not really, but I wonder if all the big females called Sub Saharan come from the same location, or, based on their age, are just a group of large older females that someone slapped a marketing name on? I think ripping older female Balls out of the wild is a shame....but the practice will continue as long as their are buyers.
