Jungle X Diamond crosses are my favorites. In general I have found they will do fine with JCP type care, except that they can tolerate lower temperatures and are not as fussy with diet (most will accept rats, whereas some JCPs will only take mice). My crosses have sought out cooler temperatures in the habitat, and in winter (I live in Midwest) have stopped eating for several months. They always start up again in the spring. In general they seem to have a more calm disposition than pure JCPs, however, my prize cross has a very nasty, high strung disposition. He is only two and a half years old, so I'm hoping he grows out of it. Here is his photo, age two.

That is a beautiful Diamond X boy you've got there! I have recently fallen in love with this cross also! Delivery on my new Diamond x girl should be pretty soon now!

I haven't seen a hybrid that holds a candle to some of these guys!

Thanks! He is definitely the best looking JCPxDiamond I have owned, however, he does have one nasty disposition. I try to hold him a few times a week so that he will relax around me, but have had very little progress getting him more calm. Interesting, he also has the most prehensile strength of any python I have ever had. His grip is like an Amethystine Python I once held... amazingly strong. I hope these traits have some positive correlation with potency in the breeding department, as I have plans for him. In the meanwhile, here are a few other JCPxDiamond crosses to look at...enjoy!
