Macklots Pythons Care

Nicki Apr 14, 2004 12:29 PM

Hi all!

I think these animals are just gorgeous, and I'm looking for some info on their care. If anyone has any links to good caresheets, or titles of good books with info on this species, could you post them?

I want to research them thoroughly, before deciding if I should purchase a pair.

Thanks!
Nicki

Hi Nicki

Nice to see that i'm not the only one interested in this magnificent species.

I just got an adult pair of these the other day and am also very interested in all kind of information from keepers of these snakes.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the info! That's awesome.

I haven't seen any macklots available locally yet, but I did find a beautiful Sawu on the weekend, and grabbed him. He's gorgeous. Now to find some info on them! The liasis site is great, thanks for the help!

Do you guys keep Sawus?
