If you have read the article 'Care and Breeding Australia's Diamond Pythons' </I></U>by Stan Chiras. link here: http://sthcoastherpsociety.bizland.c...ondpaper.chtml He hibernates the diamonds in his garage in polysteriene box's. has anyone tried this? or know of someone that has tried it?. Unorthodox but does it work? I would like to hear people comments about this procedure. |

I'm sure someone has mentioned previously that his adults, or at least some of them, eventually ended up dieing or becoming ill due to using this method. A far safer option is to only offer heat for 4 hours each morning through Winter providing a basking spot of 32 degrees. I know of several people who have successfully bred Diamonds using this method.

diamonds dont do that. they are active over winter and readily bask when it is available.
this isa post about DPS but has some relevance to winter heating My experiences with DPS
