You are quite the well researched keeper, Gio. Retics are definitely not a species to be taken lightly or acquired impulsively. Better to have precautions in place and not need them than vice versa. I always approach Phyllis with hook first and then confidently but cautiously reach into the cage after I've gotten a good read on her body language.
On the spurs note, Gerald's spurs are quite small and maybe only easier seen because his tail is almost pure white so they stand out a bit more.
I kinda doubt Wallace will break 8-9' with your feeding schedule but better to be prepared for it than not. He's going to love that big cage I'm sure. Phyllis will get her forever cage in probably July providing there are minimal delays with production.
