Doubt there is a giant gene that people know of. Of course, genetics do affect size one way or another.
For every 15-foot python out in the Everglades, there are thousands of species of clams, trees, cats, grasses and birds that are wrecking just as much havoc across the globe. So, for all the headaches the snakes are causing, I at least applaud them for being scary enough to get people's attention.

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

OH OH OH ... I want to say they are recessive. I think NERD has some.

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.
