    More information is needed here.

    Age of the snake?

    Is it a pure diamond? If so what are your enclosure temps, cage size, amount of lighting? Is there a night drop and what is your heat source?

    Soaking is usually a bad sign and can lead to other issues, and often points back to cage husbandry, specifically temps and overall humidity levels.

    I assume having a diamond, you are aware of the different level of care they require compared to the other types of carpets?

    See if you have the bases covered here:
    http://www.reptilesmagazine.com/Snak...Python-Basics/

    Scroll to the diamond section here:
    http://www.southernxreptiles.com/Art...testing_lr.pdf

    The second link mentions feeding and shedding issues that can occur without precise husbandry.

    I hope after reading some of that, something pops and you can try to adjust.

    If you've gone through all that and nobody here can help, it is time for a reptile vet.

    Snakes take a long time to exhibit signs of illness, so when certain issues pop up they often stem from something that has been going on for an extended period.
