Yes - leave the feeding until the next feed is due.

If it's any consolation, my male has refused two feeds since his last shed. He's only a cf10 but I'm putting it down to the fact that it's the time when they do start fasting, plus two adult females have recently arrived at my house, and I don't know if the cold weather has something to do with it. They're royals - this is what they do. If you don't have a greedy corn then that is your excuse to buy another snake - the corn can recycle the royal's refused meal, if the royal goes on refusing. Some people recommend a boa ... sorry to put temptation in your way!

Try Preloved - don't know what area you're in of course, but there are a lot of royals on there - got myself a couple of beautiful girls recently!
