I don't have any snakes anymore but used to keep a few Royal Pythons (Ball Python in the states). I find then nice to look at but they are very timid and don't 'get up to much'... Even when being handled they just sit there most of the time unlike other species that are keen to explore.

guys are royals easy to feed? I heard they can be a bit pernickity?
Royals can be a right pain in the behind to feed.. Not every Royal and not all of the time, but most will go off food at some point and when they do it can take a lot of hard work and time to get them feeding again. The fact that they are sush fussy feeders is the reason you see people giving the weights of their Royals or asking for weights when buying them..
