Spottedpython, I would not recommend a Diamond for a second snake. Yes, they have great temperments and eat well, but their health in captivity is another story. Unless you house and keep them in a proper manner then they often die within 4 to 5 years of keeping. It is famous for this species and is known around the world as Diamond Python Syndrome.

There are many other beautiful pythons that are just as friendly, but far more hardier to keep. Try any of the Childrens group, most of the Carpets(with the excemption of Jungles and Darwins), Olives, Qld Waters, Blackheadeds and Womas.
