All Ball Pythons are 100% Sub Saharan. The ball pythons that are supposedly "giants" are from the Volta Basin region of Ghana. Personally I don't buy into the "Sub Saharan" Volta giants being any different than any other ball python. The Volta basin area that these "giants" are found in is not hunted as much as other areas. The terrain is much harder to explore and there is quite a bit of tribal strife in the area. I am of the belief that they find larger specimens there because they are able to get older and larger. All ball pythons are capable of reaching over 4kg. All ball pythons can have 15+ egg clutches. Most people breed their females way to small and way too often. Small females that are bred to often are going to stay smaller and have less eggs. Even then, some older, smaller females can and do have 9-15 egg clutches.
