Anyone know of a good care sheet? I can't seem to find any.

Hi Anthony,

well, I haven't seen any lately, but in fact, Macklots aren't different from other pythons (e.g., L. fuscus). You can keep them under the same conditions as you would keep a jungle carpet python, but if you do them a favor, provide a large elongate water bowl where they can swim in! They will love it! Another thing they like to do as semi adults is building tunnels in the substrate, so make sure this works in the substrate you use.
Macklots can handle low humidity over a long time, if fresh water is provided for drinking, but it's lots of fun to see them hanging around in a large bowl...
Another hint: Be careful when feeding! The are fast snakes and they will even catch food out of the air

Cheers,
Wulf
