| When will my royal grow out of this? His head literally shoots in if anything is above him. I.e. my hand. He's also reluctant to walk onto my hand (so to speak) its horrible to think I'm scaring him |

They get more used to it but they will always flinch if something bumps them or comes at them quickly, its a good thing the other option is my Boa she strikes out instead lol.
You can work to slowly get them used to having their head touched just dont push it too much. |

I have seen that if you like to touch their heads, do it because they will quickly get used to it (Ratchet and amber are not head shy when they both used to be) ;)
