Question about genetics

I have a large WC volta normal bp and I'm going to breed her to a lesser male. Will any of the offsprings get the volta genetics (giant size).

Is that a real thing?

Volta get up to over 8000 grams I have been told. I have a 3000gram female. She is about 5 ft long and still growing

Do you have any links to explain?
Ive heard of some WC females from the northern part of bp's range getting up to 5000gms... But 8,000gms for a bp???

While there is some locale of ball pythons that gets quite large, never herd 8k gram ball python, if I am wrong some post some info. Google only reviled a craigslist post making the claim you are.

"Volta" is the locale of a population of large BP. They are also referred to as Sub-Saharan Giants.

Mike Wilbanks ( Constrictors Unlimited) recently posted on his FB page a 10k female. :) Just because you can't find it on google does not mean they do not exist!

To the OP because the offspring get genes from both patents I would say yes it may contribute to some large offspring. They could also take more after the sire and be " normal" sized. I hope this helps, Good Luck.

10K??? Omg thats gigantic lol!

Unless it's some uber double secret probation project, I don't know why we have to scrape the crusty under belly of the internet for a few pictures.

You'd think we would be able to find pictures of these giants on a web fourm dedicated to ball pythons...wonder where I might find a web site like that?

It's an uber triple secret! Shhh

It is talked about a little here:
