Diamond husbandry is different from all other carpets
they only get fed 6 months of the year,one of the first thing i learned was " a fat Diamond is a Dead Diamond "
Diamonds require yearly cooling cycles from their 2nd year onwards,i give mine,2 to 4 hours with a 90F basking spot,then no more heat until the next day
i give mine night time drops of 55F during their cooling cycle
all the other carpet sub species are easy to keep.....
Diamonds being kept incorrectly can end up with Diamond Python Syndrome,this causes bones to go brittle and break,there is no cure and death,will be slow and painfull,unless the snake gets euthinized
