They are so cute! Went to a shop today to see if they had any royals and they had one there that caught my eye...love those little snouts they are adorable. Are they easy to look after?

keep much the same as corns.
Make sure feeding on unscented defrost mice.
I had a pair years back that would only eat toad scented mice. Not a problem untill you want to sell them.

Thanks!

they are cool to keep.
If you buy a hatchling, imagine a pencil hissing and flinging itself around, puffing its neck up like a cobra striking wildly in the air. when you pick it up it goes limp confused at what to do for a few seconds, then it leaves something wet on your hand. you make the mistake of smelling it, horrible.
After a while when they realise you are harmless they settle down, but can still have there moments.
a good point is(unless you have the smell of food on you)they dont bite.
so I have read. I had a friend who used to feed a hoggy out of his fingers, one day it started chewing between his fingers, gave up after a while though.
