I have two questions this morning...
1 does my snake like to be stroked? i like to stroke him and he does seem to rub against/tense against my hand....as long as im slow, it seems all good
2 my snake looks like it has cataracts, his eyes are a little blue and misty but I don't believe that he is shedding, hes still a very shiny snake, unless hes gonna go super shiny...but maybe he just has blue eyes.
I dont know, im not an expert...thats why I am asking you :) |

Not sure they actually like anything, They dont have feelings as such and are driven by instinct and familiarity. It doesnt stop me stroking mine tho so carry on :)
Sounds like your snake is going "blue", in other words, starting a shed cycle. You may find he is a bit more grumpy right now and may even skip a meal or two. |

I only got him last weekend and he always seems grumpy till I get him out...how often do royals shed if you don't mind me asking...mines just a baby, over a month and i think hes shed before i got him.
I haven't fed him yet, I was waiting till the weekend and hed settled a bit, also my kids are away which gives us peace and quiet to eat our first meal! |

Hi
I'd say he is going into 'blue' (getting ready to shed) When Oscar had his first shed his eyes were a blue milky colour but there was no change to his skin, that comes later. I just left him alone for a few days until he'd shed completely, mainly because when he's in blue he is really nervous and does'nt like being handled. |

Hey carlycorn, 1 every royal snake have its own character, yours maybe like Blitz like to be stroked but not on the head 
2 when they are small/young (royals) they shed often because they growing up, so maybe he will shed sooner than u think. |

Yes as for being stroked,if its a nervous snake,then it will tolerate it less etc.
As for the cataracts,How long have they been there?could be coming into shed,or there retained eye caps. |
