hi guys,

just wondering, normal rule of thumb wen choosing the size mouse to give is 1.5 x width of snake at is widest part. is this the case for royals also.
curious cos a royals body alot bigger than its head or is this the rule for corns.

cheers

dazb can you post a birds eye view of your royal next to a 'large' fuzzy ?

I would say small to start on dont even bother with fuzzies.
