mybuddyherky Sep 15, 2004 02:57 PM

I have searched through the forum a bunch, and seen several guesses as to the ave. size of a Macklot (ranging from 6-11 feet depending on if it is Roti, Timor, whatever) I have one of the Timor variety, just curious if i'm looking at 7 feet or 10 feet......i believe it to be male....

thanx!!!!!

Timor males are typically around 7 feet long or so. Expect females to attain lengths up to 10 feet. Apparently the other species - Roti, Savu are smaller overall and also much less common in the pet trade.
