Python Identification

[ratsnakeroger]

Just read the discusion regarding whats a real coastal carpet look like and thought I would ask the same question but regarding Macs and Stimsons I have a 18 month old Stimson so I beleved until a few weeks ago when someone told me that i looks more like a Mac than a Stimson I was on the understanding that they are all Childrens pythons that come from different regions of Australia but show different patterns If all you breeders of these snakes help us on this issue would be great
cheers

from what ive allways known stimsons are very different from childrens & spotteds, head shape/scales and colouring are different to name a few, but like congo says, cant say until we see a pic.

I'm the same as you ratsnakeroger, I have 3 childreni's one of which I think is a mac as it is a much lighter colour, doesn't have an obvious stripe down the side, at 2yo its spots haven't even started to fade yet and all 3 have slightly different head scales. I need to find time to get some good photos and post them on here for some more opinions too before I can breed it.

HEAD SCALES!
I think Lutzd has a diagram that shows the differences between the children's species.
