How long you had him? What age is he? What size are you feeding him? What temps is your thermometer reading? At a guess what is the humidity? Photoperiod? Do you feed both snakes at the same time? in the same tub? Could there be competition/dominance?

There is a possible clue in the words ' he is in with another one who eats fine'. I wont go into all the co habiting stuff, there are plenty of threads if you want to look them up, but it is very possible he is feeling stressed out living with another snake. Try housing him seperately and you may well find he will start to feed.

THIS ^

Co-habbing is risky at the best of times, but with royals (who are naturally fussy) its a no from me!

Royals can be a bit of a worry but generally they'll feed when they wanna feed. I took my sons for a couple of weeks as it hadn't fed for a month or so and it now strike feeds every time. I'm not far down the road, so pm me if you want some more help, and we'll sort something.
