Diamond Python's Lunch

I just found these pics I took of Esmerelda tucking in to lunch and thought I'd share!

i knew i was missing a gerbil, very nice diamond(or what appears to be a diamond but in actual fact is an intergrade, as pure diamonds are all but extinct)

Yep it's a Guinea pig.

I know nothing of her bloodline... we got her from a girl who had been throwing several live mice into her tank every so often and leaving her to her own devices. I think she was quite under weight when we got her and has grown at an amazing rate since. Suprisingly she's great to handle, never gets agitated and has never bitten. Needless to say it took a while to get her feeding on frozen rats...

She's a beautiful snake and her marking are as good as any diamond I have seen. That said I'm not sure she is of pure blood and cannot deny or confirm.

i just reread my post and it wasnt as sarcastic as i intended.i was just trying to mock all those on this site who debate the locality and posability of intergration on almost any pic of a diamond shown. i have no doubt your python is a pure diamond.

She has no problems whatsoever getting down a full grown Guinea Pig and I don't consider her a big snake.. Pretty amazing to watch

Well that's funny herpie, because I own 3 pure diamonds, and I know plenty of others that have got them too, so extinct? I don't think so!

Nice diamond you have there exoticcorpse. How old is she?

I think he may have been poking fun at the fact that everytime someone posts a DP people rubbish it and call it an integrade... But I could be wrong
