My first BP

Received my first BP Saturday. Was a gift. She's a normal. A really big Normal. I am told she's a Volta (I've also seen the term Sub Saharan used) and to top things off, I was also told she may be gravid. What a gift.. She weighs just over 3600 grams

I'll post pics as soon as I figure out how

congrats, welcome to the forum!
have you had experience owning snakes before?

I do have some experience. I've got 6 Reticulated Pythons of various sizes from high % Super Dwarf to pure mainland. I've also got a King Snake from a Mexican Black/California cross. I've also got 3 breeding Leopard Geckos, 2 females(Aptor & Raptor) 1 male Sunglow het Raptor.
**and two adult Giant Day Geckos on the way**
Thanks for asking. I should post all my snakes/critters below, but as long as I've been doing this and I've never bothered to inquire about how the 1.0, 0.1, 1.1 language works. Maybe some one can pm me and explain it.
Glad to be a part of the BP family. If anyone has any suggestions as to the best male to acquire to breed her to, I'd appreciate it. I do like the Coral Glow, but why is that called the male maker. Ideas, suggestions? TY!

1.0 = 1 male
2.0 = 2 males
0.1 = 1 female
0.0.1 = 1 unknown

I would love to see pics of your King!! I have a Cali King now and a Mexican Black is at the top of my list when the time is right to add another King. They are both awesome and I would love to see your crossed beauty!

Likes all around!
That King x Milk is a fascinating animal with beautiful, unique markings. I love the face, the back markings and that one marking right before the tail!
I still have a special kind of appreciation for the classic Cali King too.
