on my birthday i came home to my first royal  
tried rat pups for both of the feeds and he hasnt ate im not worried to much at the momment  when gets to around 4-5 weeks i will though, i tried scenting mouse, heating up, putting mouse blood on, leaving in tank with no results  as i said im not worrying to much at the moment its best to stay calm |

Hi there, lovely looking royal. yep thats all you need to do at this point. I wouldn't worry about weighing him at this stage. What was he eating before, mice or rats? |

like everyone else has said, dont handle until he starts eating, if its any conselation, bow, my female baby, didn't eat for almost 6 weeks, and then finally started eating, and she only lost 5 grams |

Beautiful snake
As above, yes hold off the handling until into a feeding pattern.
If he doesn't feed and you haven't weighed for a couple of weeks, weigh then and then leave alone until the next feed attempt. |

Yeah - and all my corns too - Cy is an 's' sound - poor old Buffy's the odd one out!
Don't know how it happened with the pythons - Shahi is the Urdu for 'royal' and the others just happened to be names I was fond of - Saada is Arabic for 'happiness' and Surahi is named after one of those Asian water pitchers with the round belly and slender neck.
Must be their ssssinuoussss sssnakey ssslitherinessss .... |

Hi, Stotty, he's lovely - yes, as GMac says, they take their time settling in, as you probably know yourself from working in the rep shop - gorgeous royal - he won't be your last! (I've just got my third ...)
All the best with the feeding. |

nice royal Stotty01,
Just a wee bit of advice don't handle your royal until it has had a few feeds, they don't always settle just as quickly as corns, and 4 or 5 weeks is still not worrying time, they are hardy wee creatures. |
