Hi all

First time posting, so bear with me.

I was wondering what a good price for a baby normal royal python and a bumble bee royal python.

Looked after them before but some time ago, and then they were very expensive.

Thanks in advance.

Jesus christ you guys have had your pants pulled down :P I paid £80 for royal, viv and thermostat when I got my first. I'm sure you could pick up just a normal baby royal for about £50 somewhere.

Dear me that's terrible! Also beware with some shop setups and 'starter kits' - to be any good they should include a thermostat for any heat source. So many don't and your stat is one of the priciest bits of kit.

Yeah I always use eBay cause u have to go pick them up yourself etc so price is cheaper plus as with what's been said most starter kits come with cheap crap that won't last so it worth paying the extra!! That my opinion anyway :-p

Unless there selling the enclosure,aspen,hides etc etc cheap :P
You no surrey pet supplies used to sell setups without stats,before they changed their site.

I got my Royal from Rainforest Exotics in Ross On Wye for £49. He had alot of stock so not many of his hatchlings get handled much which was why mine was so snappy. After a few days settling though he was like putty in my hands. Not had any problems with him since, all his animals looked healthy and well cared for. He has a website I think, just google rainforest exotics. I bought mine from the shop tho and he offers a free 6 month check...Im a little too far away to take him for this but hes fine, im not worried :)
