In all my years of breeding Diamonds here on the Central Coast, I can honestly say I have never seen hatchlings with markings such as yours Boa. As someone allready pointed out, hatchling Diamond markings do not vary much as they grow, its just the colour that intensifies. These hatchlings have complete crossbands interconected with lateral striping. The parents as yellow as they are only have standard size rosettes. You will have to keep us posted with pics as it developes.

As for the Gosford linage mypth, its just that., a mypth. You can find Diamonds just as yellow in any of their range. High yellow Diamonds are not unique to the Central Coast. The only thing that can be said about Gosford Diamonds is that we probably have more high yellows here on average than most other areas. And we also have some of the ugliest black slug monsters here as well.

I have attached a pic of my Gosford linage Diamond. This is a male that I breed 3 clutches with this season. Not quite as good as Dans, but not far off them.
