From the pics you have posted of your python lately i would have to disagree
and say you have a childreni not a spotted. The pattern is faded and a spotteds pattern
is more pronounced

Don't cross breed. You'll find what you're looking for.
Good luck

If you get an older Female - 3 to 5 yrs , then you wont have to wait as long to breed . The male can be younger and smaller than the female . Goodluck .

Very interesting, as the fact still remains that you have a childreni and not a maculosus!
none of our childreni display this round scale that you are going on about and we have
quite a few breeding pairs to compare against, our maccies dont and once again we have quite a few pairs to compare against.

I just checked some of my A.childreni that were wild caught in Katherine - some of them have the small scale near the prefrontals, some of them don't. Therefore it is NOT a definitive identification tool.
