| Just bought myself a hatchling Royal. Although I'm used to adult Royals through work (ours range from 8 years to 42 years) I've never had anything to do with a baby. Any advice is much appreciated! |

Hi, welcome to the forum. As you probably know all you need to about adults, the only thing I can think of for hatchlings that's different is to get them onto rats asap. A hatchling can take a rat pup.
42 years! - wow, average expectancy is 20-30 years, not many get towards 40. World record is 48 I think so you're getting close |

Got two boas at work, far prefer the pythons!
The hatchling I bought is already on rat pups, made sure as that is what I can get hold of for free! |
