RE: Pure diamond or diamond cross?

Not the best picture to tell from from but from my own judgment looking at the head i think it is a cross.

You need to put a photo up from a top view angle looking down onto him showing his back and the top of his head. Looks like a pure from that picture though, but it's a difficult photo to judge it on.

To me, it might be the angle of the photo, but his head/mouth area looks swollen, seen snakes look like that that have a mouth infection - canker. But it's probably the angle

It's a pure diamond.

It's not looking too good. Looks a bit under weight. And it does look like it's gums need seeing to.

Also looks like it has retained eye caps.

Has it recently shed or is it about to?

How long have you had it?

From the first two photos to me (my opinion) it looks like there's definately something going on there with it's mouth. Is it on shed? How old is it?

Pure diamond I reckon.

i think its canker/infection of the gums, it is apparently
associated with stress and there is definately other signs
of stress. I am putting him back in a click clack w/ a heatmat
under one end and monitor him. I was told he was a yearling
3-4 months ago. But he is still way undersize. A few of my
diamonds which are 13-17mnths old which he will be quarentined
from are at least twice his size.
