i do have to say royals are lovely
i just got mine four days ago and yes ive already posted as she refused her food but its just a case of learning to chill out and relax, she will eat when she is settled in and ready!
basically no matter what snake you buy or how many you have you will worrier like anything for a little while about every single little thing! so buy the snake you will be really happy with instead of buying the snake everyone else tells you to but selling in it six months when you have snake confidence to buy what you wanted in the first place, as long as its not a viscious snake you can learn together thats what i done with my previous snakes!

it honestly depends on the snake you get SOME are and some areas i said you must choose well but when you choose the right one[dont worry it will come lol ,no realy it will] they are a delight. even nasty ones can be changed with patience and handeling. the first time i held my corn he was strikng at me the whole time[he had never been handled before]but after 3 handles he was fine, and know he is absolutley wonderful.
