Currently our snake is in a 9L Rub, he will move to the next size box when he is big enough however I'm just wondering what size tanks you have your royal's in? I've heard different things - 3ft x 2ft x 2ft or 4ft x 2ft x 2ft... I know my snake will not need it for a long time but I just wondered out of interest!!

a 3x2x2 would be fine for an adult royal an a 4x2x2 would give that extra bit if space to play with.
2 or 3 hides, some big sturdy branches an a load of fake plants will make it a nice display tank and give the royal plenty of stimulation/enrichment, different places to climb an hide ect

How old (roughly) are they when they move to the viv? I know mine isn't big enough yet but I'm wondering whether to buy one now as I keep seeing some for sale which are big enough but don't want to have to store it for months/years!!

I only had a 3x2x2 viv and when I got my royal she was only 190g. I put in loads of foliage (bought from Dunelm Mill) and made it look very cluttered and she's been doing well. Eating and shedding fine. In fact, eating hasn't been too much of an issue with me.
