Yep, neither of my retics are aggressive as long as I use the hook to open the cage and tap them on the head before pulling them out. If I just open the cage with no hook though, better be prepared for some massive strikes with their expectation of food. It's not only the diligence of the snake, but also that of the keeper that make it easier to deal with. Supers are often very flighty, and they are still quite powerful. I'd expect yours to get in the area of 7-8'. And never let your guard down when you have it out of the cage. Even though you may not get bit, it may manage to get away from you. My 8' male would dissapear on me if I left him unwatched out of the cage for more than a second! Fun snakes though!
