Well that photo tells me nothing really .... I kinda see a few blurry things in the background but can't be sure they're hides ... certainly don't look like two identical hides ( warm and cool sides ) I can see an awful lot of open space which Royals/Balls HATE !!
For what it's It just looks to big in the first place for a young , small and nervous little Royal python. My young Royals all did best in smaller 2' vivs .. if I moved them to a bigger place they stopped eating .
I'm still not convinced this is a genuine thread as in all my years I've not heard of anyone making quite sooooo many mistakes whilst completely ignoring any suggestions and advice offered .
THEN it appears that you've routinely been feeding a young Royal with a syringe.... and after getting some shocked replies you now say you've also been force feeding your Bearded Dragon !?!?!
