Umm, well, very damp dark day here in Snakey Wakey, and very quiet on the forum too ... Happy New Year you guys, or should I say happy hangovers?? (Not got one myself! )
So, why do we love royal pythons?
So many people say they're boring (WE know they aren't!) Or that 'everyone's got them' - (And rightly so!)
Royals are cool!
Myself, I love them for their chunky cuddly appearance, their soulful eyes and most of all for their laid back pythonality!
On a more practical note - they only take a dump about every six weeks ... |

Hi Stotty! Monty will start eating, I promise you!
Yeah, I know what you mean - I even used to get told that a hatchling corn was going to get out in the night and scarf me down! |

lmao, well, to start with they are just like me, round and get to a moderate size (im 6ft), i love how docile they are, all they want to do is expore round you, not bothered about the surroundings.
like bats ses, everyone thinks there boring, they are no where near boring, i think what people ar erefering to is that they are really on out and about at certain times, but that soutes me perfect, mine usually come out at about 6, bullet gets about 30 mins to and hour out, and then bow gets about 20 mins max out, whereas my corn, is always out, but i cannot always get him out, otherwise he would be out verey 5 mins lol
corns are more popular than royals, but everybody still gets corns, so people saying "everybody got them" but i bet they own a corn lol
i think people are mostly put off about there feeding habits, because 9 times out of 10, when you search on google about royals, most of the things are about them being fussy eaters, but to be honest, mine have only refused for an actually reason, not for no apparent reason lol
i wish i had found royals earlier, but then if i had, i may not have the wonderful snakes i have now |

Wow, Danny, you're 6' at 15!!
Same as my ex - only when he was in his teens it was a real bore to find shops that sold cool clothes in his size - believe things are better now!
As so many of us know, the royal python god provides us with corns to mop up rodents the royals refuse. (And corns are so lovely, who can do without them!)
And royals aren't really fussy eaters - we understand them, and we realise it's only when they're settling in and when the adults are in the breeding season that they stop eating for a while. We know that that's what royals do.
Royals rule!! |

| why do we love Royals, one word really, 'Character' and royals seem to have character by the bucketload. Yes I know people call them Slugs and say they do nothing, but hell Neither do I, I love my Royal and I love my Corn, but I know that the next snake into the house will be a Royal. (as soon as I get Palin probed, so I know whether she needs a boyfriend or he needs a girlfriend) |

Wow, Stotty, you too - what is it with you young guys eh??
Yeah, when I went to see Saada and Surahi, I thought, omg, 3' and 4' snakes, although some of my corns are that size, a python is sort of more imposing ... it's like a miniature big snake, like a small burm or a bci - perhaps tht's the charm of these royals, that they have all the qualities of a 'big' reptile but are much more approachable and gentle ...royals, aww! |
