Such a cool looking little guy. I can't wait to see him as an adult.

Thanks

Thank you. He is 3, which I believe is about the same age as rainbow? Hopefully he doesn't get any longer and only has a tiny bit more to fill out.

One of the nicest looking retics I've ever seen!

He's beautiful!

Thanks Gio that means alot.

I will say he is a nightmare to photograph. He is great indoors (though the lighting is crappy) but once he is outside he is either on the move or trying to get back to me. Also his iridescence never really does show up good in pictures.

Glad to see he’s doing so well with you! And staying pretty dang small it seems.

I guess if he is going to turn into a hormonal flailing chainsaw this will be the year it happens, but I hope he doesn't. He's seen my girl several times but they are still in separate rooms.

I like the size and I'm thinking you have handled him a lot.

My guy was good, but looking back always a little sketchy even as a younger animal.

I'd have maybe put up with his "tude" if he'd been a bit smaller. But 8+ feet solo wasn't smart.

My bet is you'll be fine!

He looks amazing as always. Love retics. Keep us posted on his breeding attitude next year. Even my female got restless this year at age 4 she is still not fully grown. She did not get aggressive but she did get hormonal and active as she went off food for 3 months.

What was your handling regime when Wallace was younger?

For the first year he was handled several times a day even if it was for 30 seconds each time. I've done things a little non-standard with him. He was never hook trained and has no clue where his food comes. Typically I will open his enclosure and let him out to roam. When he isn't looking his food goes on top of his hide and he has to find it. Sometimes on days he isn't to be fed he will come out make a lap on the stack then go back to his enclosure hoping to find food and he will do this 3-4 times.

Still no pushing issues with him but he does poke around at his door. Normally he is content on just having the door open and resting his head on the litter dam but sometimes he will perch on top of the stack for a few hours and occasionally he will want to roam.
