didnt get any pics, stupid camera. allways wants to flash and scare the snake.

i got him out, placed him on a towel (he was in a ball) and gently rubbed him with a damp cloth, he then unballed and got into striking position, following my every move. I gathered the courage to pick him up, gave him a soak for 5 minutes in warm water then put him back in his viv.

By warm, I hope you don't mean warm to you, a warm bath to a Royal (~32C) would still feel cool to you?

hmm yeah it was pretty warm.. :S

I just measured the temp of a bowl of water i thought was roughly the same temp as the royals bath was.

it read 35*C, so probably was a bit too warm, ill try and get it closer to 32 next time :)
