They are not very common, they go for about $500 wholesale, from where they are so far out of the reg. collection range, and are not a common animal.Originally Posted by ru55ell14
The best way to tell if you have one is to look at the head size, we posted pic in the giant ball python thread on here, with a comparison shot next to a temp gun.
We had 3 smaller sub sahara's that were only 3000-3500 grams and there heads were about 2x the size of a 3500 gram reg. female we had. It was like looking at a ball next to a burm, very noticeable. They are a very large snake, there was one in a picture from Africa that had 27 eggs, and weighed 9000 grams, that was from a VERY reliable source. A few breeders in the U.S have gotten 18-21 eggs clutches from them too. I believe OZ got 18 eggs.
If you have one you can usually tell pretty easily as they are very stand out with the monster heads they have. I picked mine out of 200 gravid imports, and knew what they were as soon as I saw them.
Good luck, if your still not sure get a head shot with something of reference and email it to us, and we will see if it is.
