ive just got my first royal. the guy in the shop says that it needs feeding straight away but i thought you had to leave them for abit what should i do
hi and welcome and as BE said and you thought yourself, leave it for a week to let it settle. sometimes not all the time but sometimes shops selling reptiles haven't got a clue.

Hi and Welcome :) I have five royals and my first four fed the first night in their new homes, so it's worth a try but if they don't feed then leave well alone for a week and try again when they have settled.
it took mine 2 weeks to eat i was a little worried at first but i was assured that it can be normal behaviour. For the first 2 weeks i just kept leaving the mouse in its feeding bowl but it wasn't having any of it so on the third week i dangled the mouse by its tail and it has eaten well ever since.
just saying hi
