Balls from specific areas
Does anyone know where I could find some information on what areas different morphs and "normals" come from?

They are found in Africa from Senegal, Mali, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Benin,and Nigeria through Cameroon, Chad and the Central African Republic to Sudan and Uganda.

I guess I was looking for something more specific. Like cinnamons were found in this area. I remember reading something that mentioned something about it but not like a detailed list or map.

I vaguely remember outback selling some wild caught "Ghana giants" or maybe it'd been farm raised.... Either way, there was some talk of the snakes from that area being larger

Re: Balls from specific areas
The only morph that I know of that was named after the area that is was originally found is the Enchi. The larger Ball Pythons that are mentioned above, I believe, are from a specific, desert region, but I don't remember the name. I'll see what I can find out...

I doubt anyone that knows would be willing to divulge that information...

The only thing i have ever heard of along that line is the sub-Saharan royals. I happen to be fortunate and own one. They are bred from the sub-Saharan region and tend to be larger than typical and often have big heads.

I was wrong. They come from a specific mountain region, and, as Kitedemon said, they are known as Sub-Saharan Royals, or Northern Regius...

Ghana giants may exist too, I don't know, I only know of the Saharans. There is little info available I would venture a guess if something unique looking was collected the collector would be interested in keeping that location private.

Yeah I guess just a different line if thinking. It would be interesting to see different localities of ball pythons. Size color patterns.
