Male Diamond Python Question??

[snakiesam]

Yesterday I went and had a look at a male diamond that I am interested in buying.


He seemed like a lovely snake but I was a little concerned about his tail. It just seemed quite skinny compared to the rest of his body. He is only 18 months - 2 years old so not sure if this make a difference but I was just curious as to whether this was normal or not??

Thanks

do u mean the skinny bit from the cloaca back? that is always skinny in snakes with prehensile tails

Male diamonds have skinny tails. It's much more noticeable in juveniles.
