A good pic?

[fredyfidget]

Does anybody have a good pic of a children python. So I can know what they look like and ppl won't try to pull a fast one over me and sell me a spotted python instead and how to tell the difference between the two.

The most definitive way to tell the diff between maculosa and childreni is the children will have a lateral (side) stripe dividing the spots on the first quarter of the body starting just behind the head. Pure spotteds do not. Another more subtle differnce is that childrens tend to have slightly more upturned eyes but without a spooted to do a side by side comparison, this difference can be hard to differentiate.
BUT, there is a good possibility that they can be of mixed origin (hybridized) as it was not too long ago that Spotteds and Childrens were considered to be the same species and breeders bred them as such.
Hope I helped.
