Right many of u have followed he story of my baby 05 royal that was not interested in striking or taking food for itself! Well last night I got the little blighter to strike twice at the fluff! First time missed the food as i slowly moved it infront of snakies nose, second time got it and as I let fluff go the fluff was dropped. But thats a good step forward I thought. Well this morning and stupid o clock the kids got up and as I had left the fluff in there overnight to see if it would go and it did not , so I decided to get another fluff out as lil royal was seriously cruising!! So after warming the head up i was being followed with the fluff all round the faunarium, so I thought well lets try this so I decided to rub the fluff on the flanks of the snake about midbody, my lil pain in the rectum turned round and BAM! struck and coiled it like a goodun!!!

I walked away very carefully resting lid on and I am now waiting to see if the fluff is gonna be eaten!! This has been nigh on 6 months just getting to here, but this is one of the joys of royals especially CF!!!!

Pics to follow if eaten cos I am gonna be a happy bunny!!!

yeah I did try even though I was not keen, and the royal was more scared than the fluff!!!! If I can help it I will not use live at all! I ended up flickin em on the head the live fluffs and feeding em to my kings!
