It has come to this but its OK.
I have accepted the fact that my boy is not going to be the chilled, out relaxed snake that the other 3 are here.
After a few incidents involving bites and some other bizarre antics, I have upped the game a little.
Previously I posted a photo of my 5' Gaboona snake hook from this place: https://www.aestoney.com/product/poly-gaboona-hook/ This is an incredible item.
I also added a containment bin, and recently purchased these gloves in the event he bites. I have handled him a couple of times since he went berserk without gloves, but my focus now is to retrain him and have positive interactions.
These gloves seem perfect for the job.

The bin is where he will go during cleaning. I have similar containment bins for the other snakes, but I wanted Wallace to have something much larger than what I've used for the others.
Here is a photo of the new items I've recently acquired.

Retics are very interesting animals, however you are never guaranteed to wind up with a placid specimen. When you don't, retics can be quite intimidating and in some cases dangerous.
After speaking to Garrett Hartel, I was told the percentages for SD in my snake were less than what I was told by the breeder. That is why he's larger than I was hoping for. I can still deal with him but he's far more snake than I wanted with his current disposition.
I'm hoping after adding a few new tools to the mix, Wallace and I will reconnect and have more relaxing interactions together.
