Mate, sorry to here of the lose, but i can only hope my diamonds turn out half as good as that... amazing

 

[Rhysc]

Thanks mate, he was a gorgeous snake, but didn't know how to turn his feeding response off lol. If something moved within striking distance, it got had, so I never tried mating him, which I now regret.

He was truely a very nice diamond.
19 years for a diamond is pretty good.

Can anyone tell me how well Diamonds hold up in hot and humid conditions (eg Brisbane) and how to manage this for them? PM if too off-topic for this thread.

Cheers

I keep Diamonds in brissie- they do fine- I just have a large enclosure aout 4 ft x 4 ft I think it is- a big square one with UV and heat lamps (infra red) . They have lots of platforms and perches in that one-
underneath I have a seperate enclosure which fits the width of the top one perfectly- but is only 60 cm high- this one has a hide box, no heat, no artificial light, and a large water bowl.

So I drilled a 15 cm hole through the floor of the top into the roof of the bottom one- joined it with a thick piece of pipe, and they can just cruise between the two- they both love it. There is a massive gradient between the two, and I only put the heat on for a couple of hours in the morning for them during Summer, as it is 30-40 here as you know ... I put it on after a feed too so they can digest a little better- apart from that the natural gradient works wonders for them- they dont ever refuse a feed and they are pretty active unlike alot of the Southern varieties- plus picking the Male up from Pythons73 didnt hurt- he is a machine !!!

I will try and get some pics up on my profile and PM you if you are considering setting something up. Diaomonds are my favourite of all our snakes- i watch them lots more than the Albinos

Remember, Diamonds are pretty hardy and there are natural integrades up this far- i rescued one with a busted tail a year ago, fed him and healed him and sent him on his way, and he was a VERY large lad at 8 to 10 ft- even with half a tail- and lots of scars from trying to eat Possums- he had been living in my roof in the city (paddo) for a while judging by the amount of skin hanging up there.
