With corns the food size goes to the weight of the snake, is this the same with royals and generally how much does an adult royal weigh.

1.0.0 Ghost corn Tynan
0.1.0 Normal corn Sully
0.1.0 Royal Tilly

10% of there bodyweight is a good guide or one and a half the girth size..

I'd say 1.5 x girth is the maximum and that similar girth is ideal.

I also got for about 10-15% body weight.

Adult Royals can range between 1.5kg to about 3 or 4kg.
