As you know got my first royal this weekend only ever had corns before him as far as snakes go, so thought I'd seen everything how wrong was I lol came home this morning to find he'd left me a present and what a present it w9it looked like something my bearded dragon would do lol god help me when he's fully grown,but on a serious note there seemed to be what I can only guess was urine is it normal for them to wee a lot or might it be a sign of ill health? Oh and any help with his name would be greatfully received cheers

Hi, yeah, they are a bit different from corns - they save it all up and then ...omg. Royal wee can be Niagara or things like mint imperials (urate balls) or just in between ... Sounds like he's fine - in good working order in fact.

As for names, they're so personal. Do you want something, lyrical, or wacky, or cute? I love choosing names, but I once came up with a string of romantic names for someone, and she turned round and said, oh thanks, but I fancied calling it 'Fluffy.'

No offence meant to anyone with a snake called Fluffy, by the way ...

Fluffy, christ :P

I was aiming to keep all mine related to gods and myths, but when Scar came along covered in his battle-scars it was down to Tyr or Scar and I had no idea how to pronounce Tyr :P

Ah, Miss Cat coined the phrase 'puppydog eyes' for royals, and it just describes them.

Please don't think I'm being 'clever' or a knowall, (it's just my old-fashioned education - we got given a book of Greek myths in the lower fourth and had to answer questions on the thing, it's the only reason I know the name) but it's 'Cerberus' and I think it's a superb name for a royal!

Yeah (amendment) can you imagine him 'guarding' the entrance to his hide - it's a really apt name.

I knew someone once with a tarantula called Fluffy X ) She was quite hairy, as they are, and she was very tame and chilled out, so maybe it was perfect name!

I like Cerberus too : )

Just me and my zoo.
