    What's funny to me is I know a couple people who have purchased these "sub Saharans" and they are 3000-4000g but I know a few breeders who have normal cbb ball pythons that are 4000-5000g. So I know that in that Volta region they are known to "grow larger" in general but I have a girl here at my house that is not a sub Saharan that is pushing 4000g. So I'm not really sure if the extra $$$ for a normal snake is worth it......still undecided....I personally think I would rather put that $800 towards a pied girl myself

    Edit: Tessadas I just read what you wrote...apparety you agree! Lol I also am not so sure they are not just well fed large normal ball pythons....I would be interested to see if indeed someone proved them to be genetic. They are also being sold as WC gravids laying large clutches with no slugs but my answer to that is NATURE! it's amazing how in nature snakes can become gravid, find those temps and never lay a single slugs. Something we just cannot seem to 100% accurately duplicate here in captivity.
