Some of you may know me from TCS but for those that dont know me "HI"!
Im getting my Royal on wednesday evening! I cant wait!! He/she is about 2-3 years old and is called Monty! Ill post pics whan I can. Coming with his/her viv so should not be to stressfull for him/her. my friend who is a breader said she will probe him for me at some point.
Apparently I have been told that Monty has only ever missed 2 feeds with his current owner and he has had him/her for two years. And is feeding on large mice.
So thats a little about me and my soon to be Royal!!!
No All I need to do is get to know the ones of you I dont already know! |

Hello.
I might just say that mice for a 2 year old Royal might be insufficient really and would try to get them onto rats personally if possible. |

| I was thinking the same, but thought I will wait and see how big he is when I get him, but I do want to switch to rats anyway! Thanks for the thought though! What size rat would you recomend for that size royal?? |

Hi and welcome!
You'd be aiming for a rat either 10% - 15% of the snake's bodyweight, or about the same girth as the snake at his widest point. |

| Yes, when you get him, let us know how much he weighs and as Chris says, 10-15% is just about right |

Ill go by girth though and Ill let you know his rough length and weight incase he is underweight you can then advise me!!! Im hoping he will be fine though! |

| Ignore the mouth, they're designed to stretch. |
