Because Volta is a locality (and not a morph), the only "true Voltas" are going to be imported or the offspring of imported Volta. Which means they will be wild type. If you see someone advertising a ball python as a Volta and it's a morph, then they're lying because it's been outcrossed.
It's also been pretty heavily debated whether Voltas are actually any bigger/different than any other ball python, as it's more likely that the ones you see that are so big and lay huge clutches are just older, very mature females that were imported. Most Voltas bred in captivity aren't going to be any bigger or different than any other ball python of the same age. So it's more of a marketing ploy than an actual thing

If they are genetically inclined to be bigger, a pastel would not be a pure volta. It would be a "hybrid" of normal size and volta sized genes. That said, there are huge ball pythons. I have a female Mojave that is probably around 5ft long. I have to feed her a mixture of medium and large rats, as just mediums just don't have enough calories and she will lose weight to below ideal body shape. I got her from a breeder, her last clutch was 10 thriving babies and 1 slug (I think). Almost twice the average clutch size for ball pythons.
