a) Location
b) Port macs (generally) are a VERY highly coloured snake, with joined rosettes, (like Mcdowelli) rather than the mainly individual rosettes of the Diamonds.
c) Apparently much more hardy too. |

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Jul-06 Location: Perth Age: 22 | | | | Thanx pugs and peeps...so with the rosettes a diamond should usually be somewhat rounder/simetrical and a PMac the rosettes are somewhat elongated rosettes? I think i understand now...
Thx...

Mitch & Bill Its where there is a difference in Port Macq intergrade ( Port Macquarie) and a full Diamond (Sydney sandstone basin area) they don't meet or overlap They are unique to there areas
Lived there for many years and have breed both types.
Cheers
