So I already have my little corn snake hatchling, but the addiction has started! I am very interested in aqquiring a royal sometime in the future (hoping sooner rather than later, but I want to be prepared!) Might be a bit of a general question, but are there many differences in royal and corn care? I think there is a difference in humidity, am I right?
Thankyou to all who reply, Lily xxx |

| if your in the uk the rooms humidity will be fine maybe increase it a little when shedding. the big diffrence is a royal may go off there food easier than a corn. they are a much larger bodied snake so need to be fed rats ideally |

I do live in the UK so thats not a problem and I sometimes have to aid my corn's shedding, so not much of a problem. Plus I have a huge stash of moss
I know it can be a habit of the royals to go off their food, but it doesn't cause too much of a problem I hope? They will eat again soon right, as long as temperatures are fine and they aren't ill etc.? |

Keep in mind, though, that every individual snake is different; I handle my royal about 3 or 4 times a week and shes never missed a meal. Ever. She also sheds perfectly every time. Shes has never balled up, hissed or even recoiled from me either.

Hmm, well I love them, and if it's a true love I'll be able to overcome these problems. But I'll probably be asking a LOT of questions  I will acquire one from a trusted breeder recommended by you guys and I'll go far if I have to. |

| I agree with Boze above they are all different my normal loves to be out and is very docile and rarely misses a feed my two morphs are a lot more hyper and I handle them as frequently but not for as long and they too have never missed a meal, get the temperature right and keep them in a quiet plaxce and they seem to thrive :) |

My royal's off her food at the moment but is normally a good feeder. She's getting on for four though so I think she has other things on her mind.  She's nice and docile but does seem to be quite shy so I don't handle her as much as Feather. It's nice to see her little face peeping out of her cave though. |
