I visited a petshop today that I just found out about to see if the had any royals and was quite surprised to find a viv full of hatchlings I couldn't count how many there was they were all over the viv even hanging from cables to an unused fluorescent light and crowded together under some bark is this ok to keep them like that cos I was quite shocked |

Seemed okay to me to keep them like that, what do you think? He did seem to really care for them too, only letting the ones that had fed go. He'd only sell the fussy eaters to someone experienced with royals.
They sound like cbs from a responsible breeder, cool, that is how it should be. |

This was my thought, I know every snakes pattern is different but there's no way on earth you could tell that many apart from each other unless you were the rain man |

Not sure how much the hatchlings were selling for but they had a young one in its own viv for £65 |

I think D3lboys suggesting the petshop bought them for that price

Seriously?! £10 for a normal royal..? How can they sell them for so little? |

they prob got a good deal on cf royals about £10 each but had to buy so many to get them for that price
thats just one thought though |

I've never seen one so crowded but pet shops only think of money, there is the odd exception that cares about the welfare more then the money. |

Surely they shouldn't take on so many hatchlings in the 1st place if the don't sell quick they could be in there a while, there had to have been at least 20 in there |

No! But pet shops do this all the time! It's cheaper and more space saving than individual vivs... |
