new macklottes pythons

hi all,
We finally got in our breeding pair of macklottes pythons.
They are both from a good source (not rescued) and the female is beleieved to be gravid. They are going on Monday for bloodwork etc, and we plan on getting the female xray'd to see if there is anything in there. I'll keep you guys updated.
here's a bad picture (yes Godfather, I'll try to get some better pics for you..lol)

Cool! I am definitely looking forward to seeing more pics of them. I love their iridescence.

Daaaamn, she's a big girl eh? I can't wait till you get some cute babies, those are so adorable.

these two are extremely heavy! I am literally amazed at how big they are. I'll post pictures trying to display there girth asap.
They are fatties!

Godfather, I noticed that Alex Hue is having a sale on his Mac's. You should probably check them out. www.alexhuereptiles.com

Already have ;)

Those are beautiful snakes, how big do they get and what kind of temperment do they have?

GODFATHER! LOOK! ^ A new Macklott's admirer! You better recruit her!!!
:wink: :lol:

Indeed, come to my lair Mrs. Mac(klott's)Win.

Should I be scared or excited, they are beautiful snakes. I love to more about these creatures that I used to be so scared of. I told my husband we would never have a snake and now we have 2 and looking to see what else we want.

Macklottes are great!
A bit more to handle then a bp..lol
My original female is Lusepher. She came to me a few years back and has been a joy. She is a bit "whippy" but is yet to bite.
Out of the pair we just recieved, the male has bitten. And I wouldn't "hang out" with them the way you may sit and watch tv with a ball python.
Ours are in very large enclosures with a filterd water system. They love their water.
Lusepher is a power house eater. Anything you give her she'll take it. The two new ones are apparently a little tricky. (so says the last owner). Althou with the weight they have I don't see them starving to death anytimne soon.
they can reach a larger size. The two new ones are very long at 9 to 10 feet. (I'm telling you they are ridiculously large).
Lusepher is more "normal" for a macklottes. She is approx 7 to 8 feet and the right weight.
Thanks
Rusty

filtered water system eh? I'd love to hear more about that

Fluval filtrations!!! Fluvals are used in approx 10 of our setups. Beautiful little canister filters. Basically anything that can hold water, just add a fluval!
Obviosly you do need to change the filter media etc. But they have worked well for us.
My husband has to secure them, but it depends on the water container and the animal enclosure it is going into.
Thanks
Rusty
