Oddly enough the Retic breeder said the same thing ..plus he said you don't want a 13' killing machine shooting out of a hide coming at you ...
Anyways ... just my take on things..

Ive been thinking about this.... and I was considering taking them away once he is about a year... most of these Hatchlings stay in Tubs and racks when at the breeders and get their security from being hidden... so I thought until he was a year Id give him that. He’s really mellow and i take the Hide out, tap him with the hook and pick him right up. 1 out of 10 times he kicks me and would rather be left alone, then again Im the same way [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Well I'm no expert and certainly not on the 'big guys' .. I can only speak from experience...
