Congrats, but don't bother trying to feed her. Its best to let them settle for a week without handling or feeding, then after the week try to feed her. Don't want to cause unnecessary stress

Cool, did you mean 18litre or did you really mean 18gallon with regards to the size of the tub?

If its an 18 gallon then youll have a very stressed and non-feeding snake soon... Many people start royal hatchlings in a 9litre RUB, I started mine in a 12litre one.

Her head looks fine mate, shes a bit skinny but is still only wee. Do you know what shes been fed on so far?

18 litre (told you I smoke to much, lol) but theres 2 hides and a plant for cover, she is also inside another viv in the tub so its not to bright and have piut it in the bedroom as theres less traffic (not like buses obviously :p)

shes been fed on fluffs they are quiet large.

She's a pretty ickle Royal . Bet you are already planning number 2, 3, 4 etc.. . There is nothing wrong with her head, she is lovely & hope you get many years enjoyment from her. Do you plan to breed her later on?
