hey, might be a bit of a dumb question but i am fairly new to this whole snake thing, but how big will a diamond grow too? i have heard different opinions but some people say around 3 - 3.5m. Is this correct?
Thanks. Dave

more like 2m on average, but i caught a huge one about 15 years ago which would have been 3 or more metres ( but i was smaller then too).

can you gauge the size it will grow to by the size of its parents? or is it just random? am interested in getting one and just want to knwo what im getting myself into.

No, i dont belive you can gauge it off the parents.
Just work off 2m.
Females will genneraly grow bigger than males.
I think things that will determine size are more like, feeding, prey size, housing etc.

what size tank would adequate for a 2m python?
Everyone i have spoken to has said that the diamonds are very placid and make excellent pets. Some seem a lot moer yellow than others. Does the colouring of the snakes change much over their life or is a yellow juvenile going to stay yellow?

the size it depends on how much you feed it.. my one is 3 years old and 1.1m and my friends is 3 years old and 2.5m... I fed mine once every two weeks and he fed his every week so it differs...
