Hey guys... i have had my coastal henry for a little while now... and i have always thought that he might have diamond in him...
hes a gorgeous snake, and he was sold to me as a coastal... but i just want to know if there is any way of knowing for sure... i dont personally believe there is but i could be wrong...
heres a pic of the little gut anyway... whats your opinion?

I'd say there is, or he is a coastal from just above Port Macquarie. Below is a sticky post made by Bob Withey on the topic of Diamond/Coastal integrade/hybrid. FAQ: What is an Intergrade?
May not be a question of containing different blood but a question of locality

cheers mate.. just had a read, im pretty sure this snake is from closer to the brisbane side of things when it comes to locale... so i could almost totally rule that out...
maybe somewhere along his line there were dp's involved...
cheers again mate
Ryan

he looks exactly like my coastal but hes a much bigger boy now and hes a brissy coastal ppl said the same thing about my boy that he looks like he has diamond in him but hes a pure bred ive seen both his parents. if you love him unconditionally it shouldnt matter what he is  cause thats how I am with my babies i do have a coastal x diamond though he is about 5-6mths old and dont look anything like his diamond father

Hard to say definitely, but looks like a Port Macquarie carpet to me.
