@osbornereptiles congratulations that’s awesome! I love macklots and savu pythons don’t see a lot of them these days! Keep us posted I would personally love to see there offspring!

Dude, these are awesome!

Thanks everyone. It’s hard to tell from the pic but that girl is around 7-8’ and had a huge ovy. I had Savus a few years ago and wish now I had never sold them. I’ve only seen one breeder working with them…but I haven’t really searched either. It’s going to be nice if we see fertile eggs and better if we see babies in a few months.

I would love to have a macklot one day soon. They are just so different and they get big LOL

osbornereptiles · March 18, 2021, 4:59pm

They do get big but not unmanageable. Once they get past the defensive stage they’re super calm but watch out during feeding.lol

That is what I have heard, so maybe soon

Very nice! Congratulations on the breeding! Fingers crossed for a big healthy clutch!

Wow man you have some seriously nice snakes besides your balls( which are insane alone). Congrats on the breeding projects man.

Nice to see someone else working with Macks. Liasis are great! Best wishes!

lumpy · March 26, 2021, 9:00pm

They really are such beautiful snakes

osbornereptiles · March 27, 2021, 1:44am

Thanks! They’ve been a favorite of mine for 25 years. I’m excited to see them productive.

So this began on May 7th.

I’m letting momma do the work so we should see some babies around 7/4.

sonjakreptiles · May 16, 2021, 11:47pm

Can you tell how the eggs are doing with her? It’s been my understanding that Liasis don’t shiver like some other pythons, but rather just brood their eggs. How do you have her set-up temps, etc ?

osbornereptiles · May 17, 2021, 8:12pm

She’s been actively shivering since about 2 days before laying. Ambient room temps are 84-85 with 60-85% humidity depending on the weather and other factors. She kicked out the 3 infertile eggs I saw while she was laying. She’s been in a nice beehive from day one and seems to be doing great so far.

sonjakreptiles · May 18, 2021, 3:50pm

Very interesting! I’ve known people that tried to let their Olives and Waters incubate and weren’t successful. Please keep us updated.

osbornereptiles · May 18, 2021, 6:19pm

I’ll try to get some video. She seems to be doing a great job so far.

exactlyexotics · May 18, 2021, 10:01pm

I love this. Liasis are so under represented in the hobby these days.

Sorry for the link. I wasn’t sure how to post a video clip here. Here’s momma doing her thing…and dad taking a nap.
