    Thoughts on Macklot's pythons

    I was browsing around PetFinder and came across someone looking to rehome a Macklot's python. Says he's an adult. From what I've been reading they can be pretty snappy when they are younger but seems like the calm down when they reach adulthood. This one says he "loves to be held.. ALOT". Take it for what it's worth, but I assume it means he's pretty laid back.

    Kind of curious as to people's opinions on them.

    I don't have too much first hand experience with them, but have worked with Sub-Adults and they have all seemed pretty aggressive.

    My Mack's are actually super calm unless they think it's time to eat and if they don't have a rat in their mouth within 30 seconds they realize it's time to investigate and wrap around me instead.

    Now that being said they were demons for the first 9 months i had them but chilled out pretty quick after they turned a year old.
