Is there a section on here outlining a basic set-up for a royal?
And basic care requirements?
If not then how much does the care and houising differ to that of a corn snake?
And also while im here, is it a rumour that a royal could constric and kill its owner? I heard a guy saying it in my local reptile centre and wondered if there was any truth in it?
Thanks

Cheers Sexy Chef.
I know ive seen a Burmese that was about 16 foot and i think he could of eaten a person easily, he was eyeing us up from in his viv, lol.
Didnt think a royal could but thought i would ask.
Will check the care sheet out thanks, couldnt find it.

| To be honest, there's not a great deal of difference from Corns. |

except corns are ike dustbins...........and are great to have around if you have a fussy young royal (less wastage  )
corns usually tolerate more handling - of course there are exceptions
and for an adult royal the ideal heating requirements are different |

GP doesn't hate royals, just advices that people get the royal in the pet shop that is labelled, 'Boa dumerili' (or any other scientific name it has, this is the one i found)  |

they're just not my thing.........
you can reasearch a species and see them and handle some and stuff but until you actually GET one you don't neccessarily know if its right for you........and it wasn't lol
i like bigger snakes (bigger than my corns) but i'm DEFINITELY a boa girl at heart now |
