One of my royals wouldn't feed for 6 months i tried everything, then i moved hm into a small viv (24x18x1 to see if he felt more secure. He fed within two days of the move and now resides there permanently.
All royals are different and i find that with observation you will find out what your snake prefers.
Cheers
Richard

I agree with Richard, try it and see. You can always partition the viv and make it smaller if you have to. I have 2 adult Royals that eat like pigs and 1 juvenile which started as a non feeder and now has no problem, I think
Royals bad reputation for difficult feeding is undeserved corns can be much more of a pain!
