Beautiful. Nice rainbow coming off her

Was she always tame, or did she tame down as an adult?

That is a pretty sick Mack. I have 1.1. The female is mean as they come. She is about 5.5 ft and sees EVERYTHING human as food. Marius, the male, is about 6.5-7.0 ft and tame as they come. I have actually fed my other snakes with him around my neck and never a threat. It is interesting how you can have 2 snakes of the same species raised on the same food under exactly the same conditions, yet they are polar opposites when it comes to aggression.

I have what were sexed as 1.1, that have been puppy tame since they were out of the egg. I have to say that I'm VERY skeptical about this snake being 9+ feet though. That's so rare it's almost unheard of.

What size would you consider breedable for a female mack? Mine is in the 5-6 foot range and has some girth. I'll be waiting another year for sure as she is an '03 and I'd like her to be a little older; but the size is getting close right?

Invictus · 11-28-04, 04:49 PM

For a Mack, I'd wait until 3 years of age regardless of size or girth.

thanks for all the nice replys. you are rite there Linds ,Ken I will take a New pic of herand me as soon as i get every thing setteled in the new place

Chris - Sure, they have a range up to 9.5 feet.... just like blood pythons have a range up to 9 feet, and boa constrictors have a range up to 12 feet. My point is, I hear these claims all the time - in fact, recently there was an ad posted for a "10 foot male boa" and in the picture, the boa was CELARLY smaller than the person holding it! So when I hear claims of 9 foot Macks, I'm skeptical. I'm not saying it's impossible... I'm just saying I doubt it.

all i can say is im 6'3" and she can have her tail on the ground and go up one side and half the whay down the other . Like I said i will post new pics soon i just moved in this week .
