New Royal
Hi there
I am new to the forum and to snakes. I got a new royal today, I am so completely over the moon. I've wanted a snake for years and years and I finally got one. She's a year old and I'm on a pretty big learning curve, I've done loads of research and feel fairly confident, hopefully I can run to you guys if I get really stuck, the place I got her are excellent and said I can any time etc. I don't know her sex but she feels girly so I'm going with that for the time being!
Can anyone help me with a question, (Already), I'm worried that shes not warm enough, I live in a really cold house (no central heating so really cold) Shes in a plastic viv with a heating mat under it, set at about 86 degrees. She feels very cold to the touch, colder than she was at the shop, should I turn up the heater? if so to what? Will it do her any damage if she gets too cold? Any help is really really appreciated.

The 'claw things' are spurs, both sexes can have them and they are variable in size. If you want to find out what sex they are it's best to get them probed by a someone who knows the procedure. Your reptile shop may be able to do it...
Good luck with your new snakes guys 8)

Theres 2 reptile shops near where i live, one where i got my royal from and where i'm guessing the mites came from and another where the bloke doesn't know how to sex any snakes so i think i'm gonna be wondering whether i've got a male or a female for a while yet
