Got the regal on April 28th. Measured the snake, sexed it, 19" female, with no ring of unknown locality. Purchased from Regal Reptiles. The snake came in on a shipment towards the end of 2004, 1 of the regals in the shipment, was bought by Dan on these forums(thanks to me lol), the other one, escaped. I contacted Regal and asked them if they could get anymore in, and they said they had just found the one that escaped. So I bought it.
The snake ate the day I got it, which seems to happen easily with regals. It ate a 7" shorthead garter snake on that first day, and a 9.5" shorthead on May 3rd. On May 11th she ate a 10" shorthead. On May 21st she ate a 9" shorthead garter. A couple times between then, and now, I have offered her multiple prey items, mainly small(5"
eastern garter snakes, live, and live shortheads, no takes.
I picked her up about a week ago, to give her water. When I give my "small snakes" water, I take them out of their enclosure, and hold them above a bowl of fresh cool water, the regal will drink for up to 5 minutes, once a week. Anyways, when I picked her up, I checked her for eggs(hey, ya never know), and let's put it this way, she is either gravid, or ovulating(too bad I have no male 
). She could've always retained sperm from a previous breeding....time will tell.
Her enclosure, is a 20 quart rubbermaid container, with half an inch of aspen bedding, a thermometer, and a single sheet of newspaper to hide under. The container sits on a heat pad, which is turned on if the temperature outside is 70 degrees or below, which will give the enclosure a nice low 80 degrees temperature.
Last night, I offered her another live shorthead, 13" long, she didn't eat it. So today, I decided I would give f/t a shot, which I have failed miserably with countless times with regalis. I put a 8.5" eastern milk snake 3/4 under the newspaper, and left the tail sticking out(so I could tell if she ate it).
She ate it.
