Hi and welcome to the forum.
I've really never found royals harder to care for than corns - just different. Some people find the winter fasting, which varies from royal to royal, hard to live with; others prefer a livelier snake, like a boa or corn or hognose (royals spend a lot of time asleep and invisible.) Me, I love royals, but it really is down to personal taste. |

| Hi Aaron, welcome to the forums, I cant comment on the comparison between corns and royals as I have never kept a corn, but plenty here have both |

| Like BATS said above they are a very nocturnal creature and therefore seldom seen during the day but I love them despite their feeding peculiarities, I have to say that you would see more of a corn snake and they are easier to feed but the choice is yours so long as you realise that royals are a bit perfidious :) |

I have some adult female corns and this spring they went crazy - off their food for weeks, just like royals in THEIR breeding season. Trouble is, the corns also went STIR-crazy, trying like mad to escape, wearing their noses against the viv doors and generally being totally inconsolable. I longed to put them all on the CORNtraceptive pill and turn them loose with a male horny corn ... |

Cheers and thanks for your comments, I'm looking around I have atm a RUB available and also a couple of vivs so have equipment for it, the feeding doesn't bother me as I understand how thy can be! And the nocturnal bit doesn't bother me either, just looking now for someone around my area selling :-/ proving abit more difficult to get hold of! (gloucetershire area)
Thanks again guys! Any other help would be appreciated!
