moosenoose, It is very important not to keep the enclosure too hot and let them have a thermal gradient, and NO heat at night, and let them hibernate (brumate) in winter.
Diamonds have a lower preferred body temp, approx 28 degrees, and it is important to cool them at night. Diamond Python Syndrome is thought to be linked with keeping them too warm 24x7 and all year round.
Heating 8 to 9 hours on in summer. Roughly 4 hours in May, June middle of the day, July no heat at all, August 4 hours,September slowly up to summer again.
They also seem to have greater requirements of UVA&B than other carpets.
