    15' Retic and welding gloves

    I got an idea, i need to take out my aggressive retic, will thick welding gloves do any good ? This guy gets psychopathic when anything comes near his enclosure, striking at everything

    I *think* welding gloves would work, but if it was me, I'd also want a clear face shield and make sure you have someone there to help if things go awry.

    Well, god be with you and like mentioned, I'd be more concerned with my face. And i would definitely have a spotter/helper as an angry 15' retic can be bad news. Heck tonight i was messing with Caesar who is 7' and he was determined to get behind the TV table and I literally almost lost control of him going to the floor as he was determined and just about moving faster than i could reel him in lol. Luckily i got him reeled in and back on me.

    And let me leave you with this.....from a male wanting to breed and in combative mode....

    A defensive retic won't necessarily grab your hand, it will grab what it can get - hand, arm, shoulder, head...
