I give a lot of credit to those of you who act as ambassador's for our animals and the industry. I love my retics and neither has ever shown the slightest amount of defensiveness or aggression but I made the decision recently that I won't let anyone interact with them outside of my wife, kids and I unless they're experienced with large snakes. The damage a big snake can do to a person much less a child is just not something I want to risk. Not knocking anyone that feels differently at all but Murphy's law affects me way to often haha.
