Mine is mega lazy and only moves once or twice a day either to change hide or to have a drink. I even set up webcam on motion detect trying to catch him in the early hours of the morning..... nothing. Anyone else have a ninja royal they never see or is it just me?

Ripley is normally very sedentary, but recently he's been going crazy in the evenings and at night, crashing around and constantly roaming. A friend suggests this might be breeding behaviour, along with his current (and also unusual) three-week fast.

My royal is fairly content to sit in his hot hide all day and night as far as I can tell. He is however quite active when being handled and does not seem inclined to ball up.

Our boy is out and about most nights. He belongs to my son so his viv is in his bedroom. Most nights my son is woken by Nigel crashing and banging around his viv. We had remove some vines because he kept falling off them. Was great at getting up into the vine but was rubbish at coming down lol. The night that he gets fed he will still be out and about crashing around. Oh and he doesn't ball up either don't think he knows how to :)

Three of mine are very active. Once it comes to early evening, they are out and about for a few hours. The other comes out when its time for dinner, or can be seen rummaging around the viv after 11pm
jackiee Posted - 09/12/2012 : 17:26:16

boomslang Posted - 09/12/2012 : 16:00:14

Kelfezond Posted - 09/12/2012 : 15:38:56
Mine are mostly pretty active I always see a nose or a tail pushed up against the plastic.

My normal and pastel are never seen out but my female spider is out constantly searching round in her rub, definitely the most active snake I have!
BenjiBoo Posted - 09/12/2012 : 11:53:43
Just had a thought, do you guys have heavily decorated vivs? i have a few big fake plants but doesnt look crowded. Maybe if i pack it out a bit he will be more willing to come out and have a wander and not feel exposed?
coxcats Posted - 09/12/2012 : 11:26:00
Sas is very active. Likes to come out for a good nose. Boris is the lazy one. Ria is out most of the time and likes to wander around, usually settling on the bed.
Falice Posted - 09/12/2012 : 10:10:50
Mine comes out in the evening for a wander most nights. Sometimes he just sits in view anyway, the other day he was curled up beside his water bowl for half the day =]
herriotfan Posted - 09/12/2012 : 09:31:23
My male is very active. My female is in her hide during the day but comes to life in the evening.
BenjiBoo Posted - 08/12/2012 : 19:22:01
I just picked up a hatchling corn a few days ago :) and as for my royal i think hes just a stroppy teenager
jbarlow91 Posted - 08/12/2012 : 19:12:55
My female royal only comes out for few mins each night my male is quite active and is out quite a lot my corns come out when they feel like it and I swear my cali king is out 24/7 apart from when in shed mode lol
BenjiBoo Posted - 08/12/2012 : 18:20:39
Pet rock ... like it haha! My royal has just left a nice prezzie for in the water bowl, so gonna arm myself with kitchen roll and f10 hehe
Lotabob Posted - 08/12/2012 : 18:13:56
My Royal is a pet rock, in fact these days all my snakes are lazy sods and do very little, its pretty much the way they are. A content and 'happy' snake is an immobile one. The key is learning when they do move, mine are like clockwork, the Boa comes out during the day and hides at night, I'm at work so never see her. The Royal appears at night when the lights are off so I never see him, the corn takes a dander late afternoon and early morning, I occasionally catch a glance, the house snake is the most active of my snakes he will come out a couple of times a day or just sit in plain sight chilling out on his log.

Mine doesn't even hunt anymore, just pokes his head out his hide and strikes when food is within distance!
Leucistic Posted - 08/12/2012 : 17:16:00
After a feed mine is never seen, it coming upto a feed he is everywhere (I guess looking for food)

Every royal is different tho
