Hello Everyone , My name is Ash and im 21 years of age from Eastmidlands - Leicester.

Some of you may already know me from TCS & The Reptilian forum.

I am looking to buy a Normal Royal Prefer a hatchling and would like it to be a CB10 so if any one is going to be breeding them or selling them could you please drop me an email as i may be intrested.

My local Reptile shop (Scales 'N' Tails) Sell hatchling CB09's for £45, I was told i may be able to get it cheaper from a private breeder is this true ?.

Also does a hatchling royal get its heat source from the heatmatt for 8 to 12months before moving up to the heat lamp ? As it dont state it on the caresheet.

Kind Regards Ash.

£45 is a good price. Hopefully I will have a few hatchlings, but I'm not sure of a price yet.

welcome to the forum.
Younger royals are fine with a heat mat although i prefer a light bulb and dimmer thermostat. Apparently a heat mat isnt much suitable for an older royal because they are heavy and large bodied.
I heard that royals tend to appreciate a warmer air temperature than underfloor heating, but thats just what I heard.
Welcome to the forum and good luck searching for your royal, no matter what morph they are all stunning and beautiful

Thanks , the reason why i ask is as when i get my royal i will house it in a RUB until its big enough to go in to a viv and therfore will only be able to give it a heatmatt , how long can they be on a heatmatt when there hatchlings ?

It up to you really, for i am not sure on the answer to be honest. I put my royal on the light and dimmer thermostat as soon as i got it (after trying to make my heatmat do what i want it to) and my royal was only 8 weeks old when I got her.
You could do it as soon as you want, as soon as you got the stuff to do it, or you can wait until your royal is a little bit older, i am sure one of the more experienced reptile keepers here on this forum will be able to give you some better information

In the hampshire area ive seen male normal royals sell for £20 and females for £45. With the heatmat. There normally used when there young because there usually in RUBs. If in a viv then using a lamp is prob better as it heats the air too

I think its good to get hatchlings as you can watch them grow and develop and they become familiar to you too with no past history :) a heat mat is fine all my hatchlings are on heat mats so long as you keep the ambient temperature warm they will be fine, enjoy your new royal :)

unfortunately not, try putting a thread in the classified section asking for urgent requirement of a heatmat suitable thermostat, someone is sure to have a spare you could get your hands on
