Posted - 29/06/2010 : 18:34:04 Ok so I've had my royal for 5 days now and to be honest she hasn't done a lot other that curl up behind the plant or hide in the cave. The only times I've seen her active is about 2:00am but only for about 1 hour.
Anyways, I am planning on feeding her on Thursday at about 10:00pm. I know how to feed her, with regards to warming up the mice. But how am I going to attract her attention if she's just curled up in a ball? As I don't want to handle her till she has fed with me.
Cheers. |

Posted - 29/06/2010 : 20:01:01 You`ll know if she`s interested, if they aren`t you`ll generally find they pull there heads away. As for hiding this is what they do best, as they become more settled they will come out of they `re hides for longer periods of time. |

Posted - 29/06/2010 : 19:12:44 Oh right thanks.
Also how long shall I wait before handling as the shop didn't really advise me on this but I've read that you have to leave them to settle?
