Meet GI Jane

[millertime89]

Wow! She is mind blowingly yellow! Congrats!

[Caylan]

I've never seen a mack like that, congrats!

[exwizard]

Thanks guys. I took another pic of her perching on the logs. Sometimes she acts just like a GTP. Go figure.

I am SO GLAD you bought this snake. Now I get to see pictures of her!!!

[shaunyboy]

i'm glad to see you grabbed her while you had the chance

i had a strong feeling you would

great addition mate

her head/face looks so different from other macklots,what with the yellow colour showing it in a different light (i hope that made sense)

cheers shaun

Thanks guys. Yeah I like the way she looks as well. Im still stunned that this all happened.

Man Im already getting trade offers. Jane is not up for trade, sale or anything else, but man this guy really wants her! I find the whole thing rather flattering. Anyway, I uploaded a couple more pics I had on my phone. Enjoy.

To answer your question, the yellow is definitely different from any normal macklotts python, so breeding it would be the only way to tell if its a new genetic morph or not. I don't see how hybridising would cause a colour change like that, so I'd reckon its a mutation of some sort, just not sure if its a genetically inheritable one. Regardless, I personally would just be proud to own such an animal, which it seems you are more then humbled as it is. Huge congrats on that find, whether you decide to try breeding her or not... I do think Macklotts would have a better reputation if you decided to take the project on though. With your overly "tame" macks and her unusual colouration, you could probably start a whole new market for them! ME I'm all over the other python species, so I'm just glad I get to see pictures of this snake, so thank you for that!

Wow Wiz! You weren't kidding!

Thank you Caylan. Yes I am proud to own her. She's with me for good in spite of the trade offers.

I spoke with Tom Weidner today. He says if this is genetic, its probably recessive. Even he is stumped. He called it a mutation.

it seems you are in high honor to be in agreement with Tom Weidner

then put a hatchy back across her,to see whats what

you may well be onto something great here

she's the best looking macklot i've ever seen

cheers shaun

[exwizard]

Thanks Shaun. That is exactly my plan. Im hoping this is genetic and theres only one way to prove this out.

[exwizard]

I just weighed her and wow! In addition to her being about 6 1/2' long, she weighs 7 lbs. Thats almost as heavy as Arwen whos a Dum.
