i know that both macklots pythons and savu pythons are pretty similar to those and adults go for between 150 and 180... im not sure but i'd say its a good deal, they are not common at all in the U.S. ive never seen them for sale.

My Dunn's was sold as a normal Macklots for £100, meant to be £120 but got the price down. I'm 95% sure he's a Dunn's anyway, he's much better looking than other Macklots I've seen. Whatever that is in $$!

Well better looking doesn't mean it's a dunn's python....I have some killer looking L. m. mackloti that are macklot's. Genetically the dunn's are very distinct as compared to the macklot's (still working on finishing this blasted study...very soon...but we will likely recommend that both the dunn's and sawu's be upgraded to species status), and they have a much longer head to width ratio as compared to macklot's as well. I'd say that's a fair price, actually a good price, for a healthy dunn's. They are really polymorphic, and I have some that are reddish and a few patternless blonde varieties....really neat snakes....they are much more apt to excrete as well, almost predictably. Cheers.
