hi Ian, there are not my first snakes we have a corn aswell. spent alot of time handling and feeding etc etc my friends snakes( 2 royals and 7ft taiwan beauty), i also done alot of reading on them. the female i have, fed last night for the first time(had her for 3 days but she had not eaten for 2 weeks)
i have had a larger male for a few months but i swapped him for the female. i am setting up 2 vivs for them to live in once they cut the glass correctly, should be tues!!!(will pick up the male a few days later) i am also friendly with my local rep shop so do spend alot of time there talking and handling there snakes. thanks for the advice you without a doubt know your snakes and would like to think you will give me good advice if i come across any problems!?
