I've handled both animals not daily as pets but I've had a good few hours with each. I have a friend with both and they are quite the handful. And good luck trying to rehome if any situation ever changed. I'm 5'3 and 130lbs and with the retic I needed a little help from my 6'7 260 friend to get her untangled from me. At that ut took 15 min to get her off of me she had wrapped around my waist and was giving me a retic hug and that was with him wrestling her pretty much. She was huge and a handful. The rediculous strength behind both of them is amazing. His male iggy gave me quite the tail whip when he got p.o'd at me and I literally had a 6 inch cut on my leg. I love both I think they are 2 of the most amazing animals on the planet... BUT I am not equipped to deal with that on a daily basis. For me to do what I enjoy doing with them I have to be able to do it on my own and comfortably. For now anyways. Therefor both came off my list a while back.
