None of my diamonds have had DPS at an age younger than 7 years. 6 seems to be the age that diamonds will come down with DPS, possibly because they have stopped growing by this time, or at least slowed down considerably in growth. It is also possible that DPS can affect a diamond at a very early age but doesnt show itself until several years later when the snakes growth slows down. So how a herper keeps their diamonds while they're young may have a great deal to do with whether or not the snake gets DPS when it's older. This is all speculation though.

Newbies seem to think that if their diamond makes it to 6 years of age without getting DPS then their snake is safe and wont get DPS at all, but that is wrong. Some diamonds can make it to a decade before showing signs of DPS.
