My Diamond hatchling has arrived...Pics inside!

Hey all

Well I waited and waited patiently and finally he arrived on a big plane 20th Feb. I was like a new mother at the airport, worried sick as to wether he made the trip ok...(it was 41'c here)

I am saying he is a he and named him Smeagol, but I am not 100% as he was not sexed. There is a pic included though that I think is a spur of a male, can anyone tell me??

Anyways, I am stoked. He has eaten a pinkie also without any fuss. So I take it he likes us

Oh and the age is 1 month...

I love that pic of him in the tube, lovely!

nice looking diamond. Good to hear it took the pinky without any dramas at all. Well done

Yeah I was pretty happy he ate. I thought the photo of the spur thing would have come out bigger though..Bugger

I don't think spur size can be used for accurate sexing until they are adult...might be wrong though

You are most likely right Aslan. I dunno either.

smeagles a rad name

Nice critter , we just had some of these hatch and am keeping three for my self .

Hope you dont mind me posting these , but here a few shots of two of mine , ( not good pics will get some when they have eaten )

No dickyknee I dont mind at all. They are gorgeous. Isn't it hard trying to get pics of them? Quick lil buggers

Yep they are certainly very quick.

Dickyknee are you going to be selling your hatchlings? if so for how much?

Ta Mel,

I have waited a long time eh!
It was for the best though....I was so happy he ate without hesitating...
Now the addicition has started (as you said it would), I am going to get my license and get another and then maybe a Bredli....look out hubby!!

hi mate great looking snake where is he from?what license are you talking about?
im thinking car????????
i picked up another diamond hatchling today!
i got him off bob withey (bigguy)
i cant reccommend him enough!
top quality snakes!
thanks wil

LOL...nah not car, reptile license. In SA you do not need a permit for 1 species on the list. But seeing as now I am addicted, I better get myself one!

I got Smeagol from a guy in Stanwell Park, NSW. I wont say his name as I am not sure if he would like it or not. I don't know if he uses this site. His parents looked great and so did one from a previous clutch.. I am sooooo happy

I have heard great comments from bigguy also. I wonder if he has any left???

plenty left! 3 or 4 clutches!

PreciousDiamonds i wont be selling any of mine and have pm'ed you with some other info

I was going to look at those diamond from Stanwell Park ( i grew up there and still live down the road a bit ) , but ours hatched so i did not bother .
