Well before we got our first corn I was quite torn between corns and royals but decided to go with the most reccommended 'begginner/childrens' option as I was a little nervous, having never owned or even picked up a snake before! 10 days in and I am totally smitten and have definately caught the bug - I believe I actually went into some sort of withdrawal in the 48hr after feeding when I had to leave our snake alone!
So, I am already thinking about getting another snake and whilst I'd love another corn, I also am very tempted by a royal.... I researched the care differences and know about the feeding issues with royals but can anyone with any experience of both give me a better idea of how they both compare temperament wise etc?

ok my opinion on royals......
if you handle them too much, they won't feed
if your set-up isn't right, they won't feed
if you're a stressy owner, they won't feed
if you look at them the wrong way, they won't feed........
they have got to be one of the most boring snakes ever IMO, just make sure you have the viv done out really nicely cos that's all you'll ever see! |

I had a royal, I got too stressed over it not feeding so gave it to an experienced keeper who got it feeding again with no trouble and he is keeping it.
I wont get a royal again! I agree with GP!

I love my royal
I must have a magical one though - he's never missed a feed (even eats when he's shedding!) and is out and about quite a lot!
They are a lot less active than corns for the most part, and both can be really docile and lovely  |
