First time Royal owner !!

Hey !!

I have 5 Corn snakes and thought I'd never stray from them but then I stumbled upon a stunning little beauty!
I am now the proud owner of a beautiful baby Royal , she.'s only about 12" long.

I've read so many great things about Royals and so as soon as I saw her I was
Lovestruck LOL

I have read a lot about them and my only real concern is the "potential" feeding problems they can have. The breeder says that she is a good eater , which is a relief , I'm just worried in case the journey and new surroundings , plus the swap to a viv from a RUB may affect her appetite . She has one small mouse weekly in her RUB whereas I usually feed my Corn snakes out of their viv , in small containers .

I have a 12" Exo Cube viv . The warm section seems to vary from 87 to 92 degrees.

I would like to handle her fairly often , but I am aware that she shouldn't be over-handled .... The breeder says that they don't handle their Royals so there is another litle change for her to get used to , I suppose

How often could I handle her after letting her settle in for a week or so ?

Are there any major differences between Royals and Corns apart from body shape ?

Please post any suggestions to a first time Royal owner ... Ie what to do , Wwhat NOT to do , what to expect , what to be aware of ...eye etc

Thanks !!!!!!
