and im afraid to feed him any bigger than a large weaner, because last time i fed him a rat bigger than a large weaner i think it was a medium and he took an 1hr and half to eat it and they are only supposed to take up to half hour to eat and for a while after that he was afraid of rats he would slither to the nearest hide.

well its hard to tell what he is really because he is 2yrs old but the last owner used to feed medium - large mice and ive only just got him onto rats. hes 2ft long so he is very small for his age one of my mates in the reptile shop owns a royal and he is 3.5 ft and is 18 months. i must admit since ive had the snake he has put on a few pounds lol

if it's an adult royal then i doubt a large weaner would be enough..............
if it's a juvie royal then a large weaner might be enough............

and i personally wouldn't feed more frequently than every 5 days, snakes haven't evolved to have a digestive system constantly full of food.
