Just have a few more questions before i get my first royal on sat.
He was born August 09 and is currently 12 - 14"
The breeder said he is feeding on rat fluffs. I want to order from tsmreptiles, and it doesnt say rat fluffs. What should i order, and how long will he feed on that size for?
I have a 9ltr rub set up, with 2 marge tubs for hides. Will they be big enough for him?
Sorry if i sound dumb, i just want everything perfect.

You may find this link useful for the prey sizes. I can't really comment on how long he'll be on a particular size as my royal was three when I got her, hopefully someone with experience of royal babies will be able to help you.

The marg tubs should be fine, my boa's bigger than that and her hides are about that size.

Fluffs can also be known as fuzzies depending where you get them from. I looked on the tsmreptile website and it doesnt sell rat fluff/fuzzies so i would order from somewhere else that does them.

rat fluffs can be a pain to get, so it is worth checking around. I'm sure that someone that orders online will be able to help. Always worth asking the breeder if he buys his rat fluffs, and if so, where.

when you pick your baby up from Scott, have a word with him, i am sure he will provide you with some..
