diamonds are so taken for granted on the east coast there are now high quality animals including hatchies from stunning black and white parents and high yellows readily available for as little as a few hundred dollars at certain times of the year. Better still more and more people are holding on to hatchies and selling them as yearlings giving buyers a better indication of the quality of the python.Beautiful animals indeed. The Aussie attitude to Diamonds is a curious thing for me to contemplate. On the east coast we take them so much for granted, but surely these would have to be amongst the most beautiful reptiles in the entire world, by any measure. Familiarity may not breed actual contempt in this instance, but it does lead to an undeserved ho-hum response to this gorgeous species.
But I guess the grass is always greener...

Hey mate, she was a solid girl and full of energy, about 2.5m. A poor old lady at Umina had her take up residence while going through a shed, and asked me to move her on, so I put her in a tub on some heat in a nice quite spot under my stairs just until she shed her skin. But 2 nights later she broke out of the tub while shedding and my son bumped into her as he came home late from the pub as she was going past my bedroom door on her way down the hall, so he woke me up , as I was picking her up she panicked and peed herself stupid all over me and the timber floor boards! Jesus!! Just what i needed half asleep at 2 am! Young fella nearly did the same laughing so hard, we still talk about that one!
Ended up getting a good video when I released her the next day climbing a tree, she looks massive in the vid!
