[waltah!]

This was her first year laying for me (10 eggs) and I don't want to photograph her until she is nice and plump again...hehe....

I have a male normal i dont know how old he is but hes huge.... Hes the biggest I own. He was a rescue so I dont know much about him but hes big. He weighs2687g is that big? Is he "GIANT GENE"?

Ok so my snake craze has begun, I was thinking of purchasing a Mojave next year, for my first morph, but if you guys are telling me there is a Giant gene, this changes everything...

How much would they run for?

And how come I haven't heard about these guys till now?

and wow imagine if they can cross the giant gene with the morphs...

How do people know it is genetic?

everything is genetic.

Big people have children that grow big.

Big snakes have snake babies that grow big.

The difference is that such things are controlled by more than a single gene. In breeding reptile "morphs", we deal with pretty much exclusively single-gene visual mutations that affect color and pattern.

Where do I get one?

Ah, let me clarify. I worded it incorrectly.

Do we know the actual lineage for the giant gene? After all, ball pythons could randomly grow to large sizes. A lot of things affect size, like feeding and general health.

import one from africa, or be really lucky when someone wants to part with one.

Keep in mind that if you breed a big locality BP with a normal sized bp, you might get bigger than average children, but statistically you won't reproduce more "giants".

Imagine the superdwarf x regular sized retic crosses. They aren't as big as regulars, but they are bigger than the superdwarves.

I dont care about any of that. Did you see the pic that Deborah posted? I just want a monstrous BP in my collection.
