Profile: Lancelot
Meet Lancelot. He is a yearling Macklots Python I picked up along with his clutchmate sister last year in Omaha when they were babies. They were both quite bitey when I brought them home but with frequent handling, I was able to tame them down very quickly. The first 4 pics of him are from last year and were taken within months of bringing them home. The last pic was taken this evening and as you can see he is puppy tame.
Also what I like about these guys is their irridescence. Almost like that of a Brazilian but more subtle.
Macklots are voracious eaters as well. They dont waste any time at all and they never grow out of that even though they can be quite tame as they mature.
Lancelot is a perticularly dark patterned Mack with very little speckling unlike the other Macks I have. Oh yeah and now that see all these pics together I can see that hes grown quite a bit since I got him

Re: Profile: Lancelot
Macklots normally get around 6-7' but it is possible to get over 8'. We have a friend in town with one over 10'.

Actually, they are native to Indonesia which explains to me the similarity between Macklots and Carpets. (Both being long and slender, semiarboreal, active and curious as well as somewhat bitey when babies)

Re: Profile: Lancelot
I would so love to see Macklot in person someday. As we all know as amazing as snake look in picture they always look even better in person.
