Macklott's from the Show

[CamHanna]

Sept. 12th was great show and i'm sorry I couldn't come home with more; but I'm very happy with all my new snakes. I got 1.1 Macklott's Pythons, 0.1 Albino Bull Snake and 1.0 Mud Snake. The Macklott's are certainly the most fun to handle and I'm actually going to be a little sad to see them calm down. I haven't seen many Macklott's but find it interesting that one of mine is dark with light freckles while the other is light with dark freckles.

This first guy is crazy to handle; he strikes at everything, though he does calm down after a couple minutes.

The girl is much easier to handle and hasn't bit me yet. I like the dark-on-light pattern and can't wait to see what the babies look like (though they are sibs and I might go for different blood).

So your the lucky buyer!.. i walked by those guys and took a look and one of them took a strike right at the glass, i was cute haha

Yah, the male's a little snappy. The first time I touched him he drew a bit of blood on my finger... and actually, you can see a little bite on my wrist in the second pic. The females actually really good. They are fun.

I have 2 Macklotts, and LUCKILY they were born puppy tame, and even to the day, they act like corns when they are handled. No agression whatsoever. I have enough things around here that want to take my head off (namely TheRedDragon, my gf), so having tame Macks is the highlight of my day. :D

The feeding responce on these guys is amazing!! I had a rat tonight who'd had a tough time giving birth (11 still births) and wasn't looking good. I figured I'd might as well through her to the Macklott's, fully expecting it to be to big; but the Mack had her lips around it in about 5 seconds and now it's down.
