At this point he is staying I think. The breeder lost interest in dealing with him. I think is more of a business for him and he wants easy to handle over big personality. Monty is doing ok. Eating like a horse. If he is not hungry he is calm and somewhat easy to handle once out of his enclosure. I think him being only a year old??, he is still young and scared of most things. If hungry, look out! He will strike at anything till he is fed. I hope as he grows he will calm down. He is not pushing but does strike the glass from time to time. He is brightening up quite a bit and almost glitters as the platinum comes out right after shedding. I will never be able to hand him to anyone with trust but I do work with him still. Even when out he can be iffy. Once he wrapped my arm tightly and just started striking randomly everywhere. I wonder if he can see? He has a hard time finding his food and still misses when striking it. At a year I would think he would be better at finding food. I have been debating on taking him to the vet to check his eyes. Something seams off to me about his ability to detect things either way. I think this scares him and is why he behaves the way he does.
