I don't think Macklot's pythons get enough love. I'm set on getting one this summer. Nippy as juveniles, but tame down as they reach maturity- great since they mature really fast. Great iridescence and decent patterns in my opinion. They can get up to 8 feet for adult females, but only weight in the range of about 12 to 16 pounds so they are not that thick and cat be handled by one person alone. I've heard they are really intelligent and a joy to keep so definitely worth looking into.
