Seriously!!!????

[Adam]

Why is it so hard to get pure Diamonds. I got these today, they are so not pure. The add was on RDU and he showed me pics of the parents but the hatchies look nothing like them!!! The first pic is the mum, the second is dad the next 2 are the male hatchy then 1 more of the female hatchy. Is this a joke or what??? Please add any comments you like, I want to hear evryones opinion.

 

[Simple]

How old are your hatchlings and how many sheds have they had?

 

[inthegrass]

does the colour change as they get older????
cheers

Shed once hatched 24/1/07. I just am not impressed with the stripes. I know the colours take about a year to come out. But the stripes won't turn into Diamond shaped rosettes.

 

[cyclamen]

looks like there crossed with a jungle or carpet or somthing

 

[jessop]

the male looks 50/50 jungle/DP... female a bit more pure DP maybe 75/25 DP/Jungle...?JMO

Wow.

My Sitara looked pretty much like she looks today. A slightly less yellow maybe but still the same.

I think you had best talk to the "breeder".

[jessop]

[Adam]

Are you selling slither????? I paid $275 each for them. I am devistated!!! Now I have 5 halfbreeds that are useless to me!!!!

IsK

yes, and that is? (how much you pay if you don't mind me asking)

 

[pythoness]

Adam, i think the answer is even simpler than that. the parent pics are diamonds, but there not the parents of your bubs, that much is obvious as you say, there stripped. what you have there looks almost identical to my beautiful intergrade diamond (x) carpets at the same age.
they will turn out to be stunning animals in their own right, but pure diamond they are not!! (imho)

 

[pugsly]

Ive seen that 2nd Pic a few times around..

They MAY just be locality specimens such as a Port Mac for example, Taree etc etc which would explain the more carpet rosettes but the high yellow colour.

Some people call carpets from those areas Diamonds. Some Hybrids, crosses, intergrades, port macs, what next!

 

[FAY]

The patterns on the head should give it away!

 

[sxc_celly]

Theyre not completely useless. Were you looking to breed down the track? If your so unhappy, try contacting the breeder, or sell them. Someone out there, will be wanting a pet snake, and wont care if its a cross. As a pet i wouldnt . Id offer you a price for the lot lol. Theyre your options!

 

[pythoness]

$275 each, oh hunny you got ripped BIG time.
At least when i bought my inter's i knew what they were and paid accordingly.

 

[Adam]

Yeah I know I got ripped, this is why I am so annoyed!!! I got a pair off kiltboy for $100 each and I KNEW they were crosses, they were bought as pets not breeders, I told this guy I wanted to breed them. The thing is now I am stuck with them for 6 months!!!! I don't even want to look at them!!!!!
