Diamonds what age can u tell if they will be white or yellow

[TrueBlue]

most high yellow diamonds have a red/pink ventral at birth, most b/w diamonds have a white ventral at birth.

Shame on you ouzzz,give yourself an uppercut,you need an armchair and to regurgitate literature to be a reall expert,its all quite messy! yuck,your breeding experience disqualifies you, shame shame shame

Ah I apologise for taking so long to respond...that uppercut really knocked me out...or was that the Ouzo? :mrgreen: Hmmmmmmm either way I regurgitated something ewwwwwwww, am I an expert now? :lol:

OK you can be an expert too ouzzzzz,nice little python missy,the brown color usually turns yellow and whats blackish grey usually turns black :lol: its ancestors auts uncles cousins and nephews probably come from somewhere in coastal NSW whereabouts

Lastly, look very closely at the individual scales in between the rosettes, especially posteriorly. The size of the light 'speck' in the middle of the scale will give some indication of the overall eventual colouration i.e degree of yellow/white v's black.

I agree with that.

Your specimen will always have smaller, tighter rosettes than his and look like more like a classic wild Diamond.

I agree with this, too. Your snake will turn out like a typical South Sydney/Illawarra wild diamond. It will have the right balance of black and yellow and i personally would be very happy with that.

Does anyone have any photos of a South Sydney/Illawarra wild diamond?

Looks a nice looking snake.

Will be more than happy if mine turns out similar.

At what age approx are they fully grown? 4 yrs or so?

Hi
Here is a Black & White diamond.
She is one of Reptile Citys breeders.
She has been mated with a high yellow male.
We shall see what hatches? :shock:
