I choose other simply for the fact I have a male and female retic I have had burms and well it's all personal preference. My male, Hannibal, at two it just hitting the ten foot mark....yeah a bit small I got him from some people who were feeding him well kinda small meals every two three or even 4 weeks. They took great care of him aside from the feeding and he is well one of the most intelligent creatures I know a freak if I must say every so lovingly. I dont know whats more messed up the fact that I talk to him like I do my children or the fact that even people watching swear he responds (i.e. pouts when i tell him not holding tonight......go to sleep ur not getting the rabbit its not ours.....or goes in to a hussy when Clarice my baby girl tic isn't near him for a few days)
