Diamond Python
Place of Origin and Range | This snake is found in southern coastal regions of New South Wales and Victoria, Australia. |
Description | They are quite variable in colour and pattern, typically being predominantly dark olive to black in colour with most dorsal scales having a yellow (or cream) spot in the centre. Along the body and tail are numerous clusters of yellow or cream scales that form 'rosettes' that look a bit like diamonds. The underside is white, cream or even yellowish in colour, although it is often spotted with black. |
Morph Patterns Available | Yes |
Adult Size | Can grow up to 13 feet (4m) |
Accommodation | It lives in a variety of habitats, including heaths, woodland, forest, and urban areas. Plenty of branches for climbing. Leafy plants will provide the required humidity and hides. You will always want to include a large dish for bathing and soaking in to improve shedding. Always include a day basking spot at 80'F(27'C). Along with multiple hides. Minimum 2 x 2 x 4 feet for an adult. |
Lifespan | Can live 20+years |
Feeding / Diet | The diet consists of small mammals and birds. Typically eats mice, rats, chicks, and rabbits. |
Other Considerations | Snakes are relatively hardy low maintenance animals when kept in the correct environment, and require little day to day care other than feeding and cleaning out the tank as required. However, like all animals, they can still become sick or injured despite our best intentions to prevent this. |
