When it comes to aussie pythons Diamonds are my first recomendation for newbies to keeping reptiles... i am yet to come across a Diamond with a bad temperament. I have 3 Diamonds (haven't put pics up of the third cause he is due to shed atm) and none of them have ever even looked like biting. They are not flighty and nervous like some species and are happy to just hang around your neck.... Boris (the one in the top photo) will hang around your neck while you defrost the rats for everyone!!

Definately the puppy dogs of the Aussie Morelias.

Cheers,
Evie
