What age is he?

If he is still a hatchling then keep him heated as per normal right the way through - maybe drop a few degrees. If he is older than a hatchling then yes, definately cool him...

Diamonds are a cool climate snake - I asked this similar question when I purchased my Diamond and was told that insufficient cooling over Winter is considered by many to be the cause of DP Syndrome. I have since done quite a bit of reading on the subject and tend to agree...

Being in Sydney you will be fine as well - think of it this way, if they can live outside during this weather they can also live inside. I heat my DP for 6hrs during the day up to 25'c - I then turn off all heating...
