    Accually the Opposite. All the Balls I owned in the 80’s were much larger. The problem id have in comparing is that all mine were wild caught so I did not know the age as were 90% of Ball Pythons and Boa’s back then.
    I have seen Balls for sale now that are around the same size as what I had but they call them Volta Ball Pythons now. Even their heads are twice the size. This is referred to by the location and a Lake “Volta” outside East Ghana.
