| Hi I am new to forums and Royal Pythons - I hope I have chosen the right topic area. I am going to buy one and want to be sure it is captive bred and preferably in UK. How can I be sure? All the reptile shops stocking them say there is no paper trail and I cannot find a local breeder. I am in the Bath area. |

| Thank you everyone who has replied - especially lee2308. I have telephoned the breeder you suggested but unfortunately he has no normal ones. He did however recommend a reptile shop that obtained its stock of royal pythons from a local breeder so I will try that. Thanks again. |
