they are a nice looking pair, but the thing is if there just normals surely there worth "normal" money as the patterns and blushing wont be passed on to the clutch?

Surely £195 a pair is a price for normals in a shop ,and they are a nice looking pair even if they are normals.shops have overheads they will never be as cheap in a shop as they can be buying privately.Does anybody agree with me that £195 for well grown on almost adult pair of royals is reasonable for shop prices

The blushing relates to the colouring in that it has 'blushing' in places, which, if i remember rightly, relates to lighter patches in amongst their normal patterns, or along the back or on the head etc. It looks like the skin is fading in colour in places. As far as i'm aware, it's not a genetic trait, it just sometimes happens.

I don't disagree. The shop can charge what ever it likes. No price controls.
I suppose the problems only start if the shop is trying to pass them off as a genetic 'blushing' morph rather than an attractive looking pair of royals with blushing.
