I want to breed my A.maculosa. They all hatched 05.2005 and now they are about 1,1m long (3,5') and at least 280g for females, and 270g male. Did you think they are in good weight to breed next season? (Here in Poland, the coolest period will begin with 1st of November). I've been searching all the net but nowhere I find this info.

not sure on weight but will be large enough for sure, my girl went this season at about 115cm and as round as a 50cent coin, not sure on weight but she was large enough, my male was only 18 months and about 100cm and just a tiny bit smaller then a 20 cent coin. just condition them, eg nice solid girl and a good healthy male eg male not as fat as girl.

Normally I keep them in racks using for heating cable cord on termostat. In coolest period (winter here) will displug the heating cable and keep them in room temperature (about 21st C).
I write this from work and don't have here the pics so I post them later. Some other our pisc are on http://www.kpreptiles.com/galeria-spis.shtml (its our www but now in reconstruction so... )

These are my Maccie's  The first three pics are of my first female (lighter and tame one) The fourth pic is my second female (in blue eyes) and the fifth pic is my male - nippy and little agressive one. They will eat almost all and whenever no matter that are ine sheeding time.

Nice snakes... Your mac has the same colouration as mine... mine has a blue tinge on her scales like your tame girl there. I am interested in breeding mine. But might wait till she's 3 - 5 years and then hunt out a male... Could be exciting!

Antaresia will breed at 18 months of age with no problem as long as they have the length and are in good condition. Those are certainly long enough.

About $130-200, pretty much the same as here and a bit more for nice Blonds.

Sorry to hijack,
Would a 70cm spotted python 18 months old be able to breed next year?

I have another question so: does snakes (maccie) eats in the coolest period? For some snakes 21^C is ok temp for digesting but I don't know is it right for Anteresia.
