Diamond Python (Morelia spilota spilota)

Paul Bodnar Aug 30, 2010 01:37 PM

Greetings All,

I could not have been more pleased with the 2.1 reverse trio of Diamond Python's sent to me by Tom Crutchfield. The 2010 new additions have already fed and are set up in their respective enclosures. I already have a three year old pure Diamond female bred by friend Will Bird.

I am the first to admit baby pure Diamond Pythons (Morelia spilota spilota) are not very attractive, blackish base color and white specs, but that dullness is a good thing! That means they are the real thing! As the small pythons begin to grow and shed, each time they become brighter and more colorful. Once the pythons are a year old they quickly become one of the most beautiful snakes in the world. By three years the are nothing short of SPECTACULAR!

Keep them lean, under the right husbandry conditions, and you will enjoy them for decades.

It really is a pleasure to have Tom breeding this species, and I want to thank him on this forum for sending top notch animals.

Never had the privilage of workign with diamonds but they sure so look great. Speaking of Tom Crutchfield I thought it was very cool that he donated a Pied ball for the USARK raffle.
