Hi guys I just have a quick question. I have my corn snake Stanley who I love but was thinking when he has a big boy viv then I may have to fill his faun with a baby royal/ball python so my question is the difference in care etc. Between a RP and a corn snake. Thanks! |

I have some royals,2 were captive farmed imports,never fed,fresh of the boat NOT the way to buy them.1is an unwanted 'Desert Morph'female-they are usualy unbreedable.The last is a'Spider Morph'male.
The captive farmed ones(Bugarit and Bugarum)have caused much heartache;they posses magical ability to get out of anything and had to be assisted to get them feeding BUT it has been so very rewarding to get them to the point where they now strike feed 
They don't do much BUT are great for shy or reserved folks as they seem placid 
Soo very different to Corns,in a good way  |

A friend has a Royal.
He's very easy to handle as he moves quite slowly. He went off food for about 3 months recently but is now eating again.
They've got quite an innovative viv setup... it's two tier with the upstairs being the hot area and downstairs being cooler. He doesn't do a lot when in the viv..... mind you neither does my corn! |

I know someone whose Royal went over a year without eating, can be stressful! They are great though and I would like one or two or three at some point. I got offered one for free last weekend but I just don't have the room so had to turn it down :( |

I believe they tend to go off their food for a while each year which causes a lot of keepers to panic unnecessarily but the biggest factor to consider is that you would get more movement out of a pet rock  |

Thank you gmac but I don't see a whole lot different... Is it the fact that they need a bulb heater and higher humidity? |
