    Doubt there is a giant gene that people know of. Of course, genetics do affect size one way or another.

    They are Sub Saharan locality ball pythons. I don't know much about them though.

    I've been told that area is protected from collection, the tribes there worship them. They are bigger than Ghana locales.

    Nope, not recessive & a few folks got them. They do slip into the trade. I've been asked if my biggest female here is one. She's CH 5'5" & over 7lbs now!!! She lays 11-13 egg clutches AND her offspring thrive & grow big too! I love this snake:

    Her head fills the palm of my hand.
