My royal refused to feed for the first time last night! He struck then left it! I know missing one feed is absolutely nothing. I moved house at the weekend and he's probably stressed. I offer him every 5 days and every 7 for my other snakes which I was going to feed tonight but would you recommend leaving feeding them until next week to settle down? |

Mavis! Love that name for a snake! I'm going to order from 888 I think. Want something with a bit of attitude but handleable and they sound perfect! |

they are more mouth than anything to be honest my male ivan is a wimp an hide's soon as he see's me but the female is a bit feisty in the viv an will tag me if i lift the hide with my hand so i just get her out with a hook an she is fine.
a friend's bull is the same as mavis and another friend has a couple of northern pine snake's(same family, pituophis) they are a little hissy but tame.
great snake's to own and get to a good size the bull's average 6-7 1/2ft, ivan is just under 3 year's old an 6ft whereas mavis is 4 1/2-5ft at the same age

I'll do that thanks. Speaking of bulls Ive been thinking about getting one as I only have room for 1 more snake I've been thinking carefully about it. I know they can be aggressive but thats part of the challenge! Would they be a good choice? Can you handle yours at all? |

yea give him a week/5 day's to settle before offering again, i know it's not royal's but when ive moved house it's taken a couple of week's for my bull snake's to settle in a eat again |
