ok all,
here we go i got a pair of these at on a trade at a show last month, now doing my homework with them, the female is gravid, i was looking through the barker's book, "pythons of the world", and now since i have little experience with these am not 100% on the type of snake they are, are these dark maculosa's or are they childreni's ?, any help would be greatas i am expecting babies and would like to sell them as what they rightfully are,
thanks ahead for the help

Definately maculosa. Childreni are faded as adults and don't have that bold of a pattern as juveniles. Check out my website for pics of a childreni and you can see for yourself.

Well, there is just one little problem there!!!
Since there are no "new" animals coming out of Australia, crossbreeding is very common!! Hybrids I think it is called in english!!
So unless you get a DNA testing I wouldnt sell them as purebreeds!!!
I am also the lucky owner of a pair that mostly looks like maculosa's but, I would never sell them as purebreeds.
