diamond

[shaunyboy]

took a quick few pic's of my diamond at feeding time.i tried to move her up to small rat fuzzies last night.she struck,constricted,then after 5 to 10 minutes dropped it.i tried 3 times,always the same response.i fgured she's not quite ready to move up.i waited until tonight put her back on rat pups and she pounded 2 of them as normal.




cheers shaun

Could likely be a temp thing as the bigger prey takes longer to warm up all the way thru.
Starts warm & then they get around to eating it cooled off some & lose interest.
Diamonds looking good BTW, Mark

Those would be rat pinkies too BTw not pups
It goes pinks, fuzzies, pups, weaned, small etc. Cheers Mark

Beautiful diamond- I am sooo jealous!

Omg thats the coolest snake I have ever seen! I want one!

[shaunyboy]

many thanks for your kind comments.she's the pride and joy of my collection.i bought a hair dryer that only gets used to heat my food items.i read once that some times the scent of human hair can put them off eating.i will try heating it more next time,sounds like that may be the problem (thanks for that gonesnakee).over here food items go as follows.

mice = pinkies,fluffs,small mice,medium mice,large mice.
rats = pups,fuzzies,small weaners,large weaners,small rat,medium rat,large rat,jumbo rat.

for some strange reason over here we only refer to mice as pinkies,new born rats are always reffered to as pups not pinks.dont ask me why as i have'nt a clue,its been this way since i started buying food items.

I think I was bitten by the diamond bug ages ago. I really want one, but it will have to wait until I have a bit more financial security- they are close to a grand apiece over here.

Their so pretty. Kim why are they so much in the States? Are they hard to come by or something?

shes only a baby herself.she was born august 08.i am trying to raise funds just now to buy at least a male diamond.if i can raise enough there are currently 2 pairs of diamonds for sale in the uk right now.this unheard of as the first pair are 05's the 2nd pair female 06 male 07.you dont get many diamonds coming up for sale.there was 6 hatchling diamonds sold straight from the egg for £1000 each last year.the guy didnt even have to advertise them as his close mates snapped them up.willow,both the pairs i mentioned above are going for £2000.i think that makes them slightly more expensive over here.i think our exchange rate is roughly 1.5 dollars to the british pound.works out at $3000 the pair willow (if i'm correct with the exchange rate).you have some good diamond blood lines in the states.i dont know much about canada and diamonds.gonesnakee has some very nice looking pure diamonds so theyre available.

gonesnmakee,where do your diamonds originate from ?

cheers shaun

She was born on my 40th b-day. COOOOOL! LOL Hillary they can get up to 10 feet. I believe they're the only carpet even close to the size of a coastal.
