    The value in these giants is to breed them into morphs, raise those morph girls up, and have a Bumble Bee lets say -- drop 12-15 eggs.

    I believe in fact that they come from Ghana.

    Can someone who has imported some verify this?

    The story BG heard was they come from some mountain area, but BG forgets where. These things are monsters.

    Beleive me, they are not just old ball pythons, they are a locality giant that get huge. If they were just old they would be everywhere not just from the North.
