Bung, you've got a hell of a response there!!. We got our first, and so far, only snake around this time last year. We were also tossing up between a Diamond and Bredli but ended up going for the Diamond.
I can't speak highly enough of this breed. Not that I've lived with any others but we picked up our DP from a local breeder at around 2 months. We handled her immediately and she has never missed a feed - except when shedding. She has never biten or even hinted at it. In fact last week I had her out to feed her and she started shedding in my hands!! Not even the slightest bit cranky.
Anyway, we were only ever going to get a species that had a reputation for being calm and I can say that we hit the jackpot. Daisy the DP is 15 months old now and I can't wait to see what she developes into as an adult. There's been some recent postings of some truly massive DP's well over the 10ft mark and I hope if ours ends up that big she stays as calm as she is now.
Good luck with whatever you get. Go with your gut and you'll have no regrets.
PS - DP Syndrome is apparently conquered by using UV cage lighting and allowing them to cool slightly during the winter months. Different people seem to have different opinions but our breeder does this and he's never had a problem.
