that's the problem........ people on ANY forum (yes, including on here!) can sound like they know what they're on about, but in reality they're talking complete and utter bulls**t!
and if you're in the position of having to ask for advice then you're unlikely to know what's good or bad advice........ 
i understand but i was meaning a very respected reptile breeder near me or even a vets

i know you were hun, i was meaning that the royal's owner is prolly listening to bad advice and thinking taking it is the right thing to do....... cos anyone online can sound like they know what they're talking about |

But as Ali says, we dont know if they had been given bad advice....
it may be that or it may just be ignorance whatever happens the snake needs help and fast...
not sure making it public on the dark side is a good idea either cos they are likely to lynch first rather than help..though there are those that will try and help... |

| I know how she feels though, as a new snake owner we try and do the best for our new pets but the net is the most accessable point for info , I looked at several sites that gave completely different info,I bought a snake from what was supposedly a reputable dealer and got told my 3 month old should be fed 1 mice pinky every seven to 10 days, this was changed straight away and now syd is taking small rat fluffs or large rat pups every 5 days. Her profile says that she is only sixteen so she's going to be very inpressionable and stubborn, we've just got to hope that she listens to the right advice. Steve |

yeah my local rep shop is feeding there royals on mice fluffs but only 1 each and they are losing weight pritty fast iv even told the lad that works in there that they are losing weight and he just goes there fine,
the worst bit is i know the breeder who sold them to the shop and i went round to his to get a few snakes sexed and i told him and he knew and has talked to them and they wont listen to the bloke that sold them to them, the guy who bred them even saw a dead 1 in there and they removed it but kept all the royals up for sale still,
me and my partner a month ago pulled a very large dead corn snake out of a viv in there as the person that deals with the snakes wasnt in that week and the snake must have been dead at least a week, why do these shops tell people to feed there royals mice when they cant even keep there own snakes in health and its clear there better of with rats its sooo sad that royals and other snakes are kept in a state like this,
if i had the money i would buy them from my local shop and rehome them once built up, but its shops like this that are advicing people like her to feed them a mouse a week
