how likley is it that a royal will stop eating?

i would love to get a royal as they are beautiful but the thought of it not eating makes me not want to get one. i would get a female but am so scared about it going off its food. is it really likely a riyal will go off there food?

They will likley go off their food at some point, but there arnt many species that wont.

Just because they dont want to eat when you want them to, doesnt mean there is a problem, so I wouldnt worry about it.

Aye its always manageable, most feeding problems are down to incorrect husbandry or mating season and the others are normally resolved without any major stress :-)

Its what they do in nature so yes you may expect to see it at some point, as above, it doesn't mean there's a problem necessarily.

First of all it may worry you abit but it becomes more normal/acceptable as you learn more about your Royals.

I have four royals and they are all different some eat regularly and others pig and fast but they are all healthy and after a short time you do get to know each snake and its preferences just keep a log and watch for patterns in their eating habits
