My new Royal - Dora

[mcchriswood]

Heres the pictures i was meant too put up
Had her 6 days now.
She took her first feed with me on wednesday and a full shed on tuesday.
Both went PERFECTLY
She strike feeds everytime apparently currently on rat fluffs however ive order 5 more rat fluffs for 5 more week but also 10 small rat weiners for after.
When i picked her up she was apparently cb08 and weighed 200g which i thought wasn't very heavy however she looks extremely healthy.
Shes about 20 - 22" long
Heres some pics

i have always been told to feed 10-15 percent of the snakes weight. so a 200g snake i would feed a 20-25g mouse/rat

[mcchriswood]

does she look under or overweight ??
I only ask because alot of CB 08 royal seems to be 5-600g
Thanks
Chris

Oh sorry
And in regard to humidity.
The Rubs humidity is at ba constant 48-50.
I have been adding a moist hide when in shed.
Should i leave a constant moist hide in there or is she ok without.
Some car sheets say humidity between 30-50 and up when in shed and other say cnstant humidity of 60-65
Thanks

im no expert but she doesnt seem to have a triangle ridge on top of back? she isnt huge but doesnt look too bad IMO.. i will get a pic for you in a second mate.. hang about..

[jamiequin]

as an idea..

if it was my snake at that weight i would feed this size rat..



and this is what my 08 royal will be eating tonight..



it just depends how they feed. my girl is big compared to yours and is LATE 08. guess she is just a pig! lol hope this helps?
