Very normal and it's not just the first few weeks either!

Welcome, my first snake was a royal too! i have left him for nearly 4 weeks now without handling him as was having problems, feeding etc, then he shed, so last night was the first time i had him out, it is so tempting to keep looking at them and moving there hides, but i am so glad i took these guys advice on here, got him out no prob's last night.

wow 4 weeks :)

did you feed him in the viv during that time?
and yes moving their hides is so tempting, i did do it once i will admit, but that was because i set them up poorly initially.

I fed my royal on day 2, took him out of the viv, into a box and BAM he fed fine, however he is very very agressive right now, so i will live him a further 3 weeks minimum while only feeding him.
