Sorry mate but that would be impossibe as there is way too much variation right throughout their range, and most likely the parents, and their parents etc etc, would have mixed blood in them.

Agree, it is impossible to say. Diamonds from one area can be high yellow, dirty yellow, solid black, striped and almost like an intergrade.

It's not a pure diamond at all, it's a hybrid. Just ask anyone with a 1000+ post count who has lass then 3 or 4 snake years experience.

You ask a dangerous question, I wouldn't bother posting pics and asking questions about diamonds on this site unless you are after an abundance of digital manure

I think you've misread me. Look up all the old posts about diamonds and you will find a lot of what I referred to as "digital manure". None of that was directed, it was just a simple statement that questions about diamond locale and purity are generally met with responses from people who claim to know more then they actually do

My point on post count was that these "experts" usually have a high post count but little experience.

I was in the scrub the other day boa and low and behold there was a striped diamond,i didnt want to scare the little fella so i snuk up slowly and there was another but this time a double striper! Oh how excited i was at seeing these rare creatures when all of a sudden they stood up and put their tails intheir mouths and started rolling down the hill
