| Just wondering if any of you have captive farmed royals on here. We have discovered that our royal is actually captive farmed and was imported from africa into the uk before being fed or drinking. We got him from some really nice people but we simply were unaware of his origin at the time. I have had people comment on his size, saying he is large for his age. This got me wondering whether their is any difference in the sizes between captive farmed and captive bred. |

I cannot really comment, but the guy in my local reptile shop had a wild caught 5-6ft monster girl that lived till 33. These were the days of wild caught only and no morphs.
He said she was a complete softy but an oversized beast lol 
Wild types (Normals) are still his favs to this day  |

| It was in practical reptile keeping a couple of months ago an article about maturnal incubation also said you don't have increase humidity in viv because the eggs don't lose any water when the mother incubates them |

| Yeah I read the same article jb very interesting although it did mention at the beginning he had more failures than successes, as for your question red since the article said that maternally incubated eggs produce bigger babies, then it stands to reason that cf babies would be bigger than cb ones since at a guess all cf babies come from ghana so they would've been incubated by mum. |

| And I suppose it just depends on other factors aswell like food obviously a cb royal that eats every week is gonna be bigger than a cf that is a fussy eater lol |

| I have read somewhere, can't remember where, that CF royals are generally better feeders than CB royals and that CF are less likely to fast for long periods. Don't know if that's right or not. |

| CF are where eggs are taken from the wild and incubated artificially is it not? If they'd already hatched they'd be Wild caught animals. |
