    Phyllis is a little testy about coming out to play sometimes too. She's only lightly tagged me on the elbow once but I'd still never say she's above biting again. Retics definitely deserve a lot of respect when you're handling them but she's a sweetheart once she's out of the cage and in hand.
    I love the yellow on the underside of her neck too! She's been slowly developing more yellow as she's grown. She initially had a pretty stark white belly. It's wild how much their color can change from day to day. Generally the day after she eats she positively glows. So cool.
    Hope Wallace is enjoying his new playground as well! He's going to be even more amazing as he grows!

    Hey brother,

    I just took Wallace out tonight which is #2 trips out for today.

    No biting but I got a little musk LOL!

    I can tell he's still not totally comfortable here and I'm sure stress is involved with the cage change.

    All info I have says retics should be handled somewhat frequently so I feel he should get accustomed to it.

    He's already chilled out since being out of the cage so I'm happy. One handed typing now!

    You are kind of the lead guy for us new retic keepers so keep the pictures and pots coming. I dig your laid back style!
