Good looking diamond mr k,yeah i would say that i dont give a stuff whether they are captive hybrid or whatever (the yellow diamonds) they look good hey mr k !

Oh, old fella i just love em!! i think that they are one of the most beautiful pythons around.

Thanks all for the nice comments. I will post some more of my others soon.

Dee, i'm sorry but i'm not on good terms with the person that i got it off and i won't recommend him to anyone. Sorry mate!!! but i could probably give you some others who have ones easily as good in a pm. Gimme a day or so cos im on my way out.

Pure diamonds come in a few colour forms and a yellow or high yellow one isn't a rare thing and certainly haven't been crossed with jungles .The further South of their distribution area they tend to be more black and white and further North they seem to be more yellow but you get ugly looking brown ones as well throughout their whole distribution area and once you get further north again around the Port Macquarie area you start getting intergrades.

Just because a diamond doesn't have perfect rosettes etc doesn't mean it's not pure,there will always be a little bit of variation.

Just to throw a bit of turmoil in this thread with diamond colours and localities, I have done a few wild diamond rescues (WIRES) with NCHERPS and we have found both high yellow and also "Gosford" type diamonds as well all within the Sydney region. So in there is obviously a lot of variation in colouration in a small area, all the ones we rescued were in the northern beaches area.

Nice diamond MrK, I love them as well.

Finally the end is near. Next Mr K I would suggest not trying to show off your snake as it looks like it may cause a conflict of interest. HAHA

Anyway it would be great if you could gather those contacts, more so if they are like yours or mine as they are very similar. wonderful DIAMONDS and pic was great. Done well.

[BROWNS]

Can anyone tell me if this is a pure diamond or intergrade???



Wow 57 people online!!!!

[reptile14u]

its an intergrade , here in port macquarie quite common

[playwell]

It's a pure - Morelia Spilota Blotch

Nah just kidding. I would have no real idea as I am only a hobbiest.
There are a lot around that look like that.

But when I think of diamonds pythons I do think of a python with diamond shaped markings.

I would love somebody with the techinical and/or background knowledge to add some clearity to this subject thou.

Where do the high yellow animals originate from?
I get the impession they are captive breed.

Before you take me the wrong way - I do like the high yellow diamonds pythons as I have seen a few real stunning ones with smaller nice even markings.

Pretty snake what ever it is.

[reptile14u]

high yellow = gosford area mainly to north of thier range, few nights ago caught really yellow intergrade in the back yard usually find them like the ones u had pictured playwell

[playwell]

Yeh i knew the northern ones had a lot of yellow, but was not sure about the HIGH yellow.

Excuse my ingorance I was brought up with Sydney Diamonds Pythons. :roll:

[reptile14u]

playwell i have all three types black/white, yellows,hybrid/intergrade , but must addmit black/whites are my favorites

No Probs Dee4, I will get them to you real soon mate....Thanks for the compliments

I have assisted in rescues in Sydney to find out the diamonds were high yellow, so saying that they occur past Gosford is not necesarily true. I have known and seen several high yellow diamonds down here as well as Gosford form. So it is hard to tell exactly where high yellows are truely from.

[BROWNS]

hybrid/intergrade

:roll:
Here's a pic of some offspring that are the highest yellow diamonds i've ever seen and i had my doubts they were pure diamonds but was assured they are pure diamonds and the parentage was rescued from Sydney South from bushfires.These have white rosettes and as far as i know your typical Gosford diamond has yellow rosettes.

[playwell]

Nice. They are great looking snakes.

[Stevo]

I agree with hugsta, i believe and have seen wild yellow diamonds as low as merimbula which would be one of the southern most areas for diamonds and have seen b&w diamonds in same area. Mind you they werent as high yellow as pics browns just posted they are fn stunners.
