Great looking royal. Ive just had to give mine away due to needing room in the house.
Not sure if its your camera or not, but it does look like its about to sloth. Once this is about to happen the eyes will turn a milky colour. I wouldnt suggest trying to handle the snake at this time as they tend to strike at anything, as their eyes are not in use.
And another thing...... Dont be concerned if he/she doesnt eat for a while, royal's are known to be fussy eaters.
What are you feeding him/her on atm? just curious.
