Coastal or diamond?

Hey guys

I was just at peter childs place discussing the purchase of either a diamond or an coastal carpet, I was just wondering what peoples opinions are of which is a better snake.

Thanks in advance, Brendan

Go a diamond. Temperaments are the same but diamonds are prettier.
