He's better, and thanks for asking.
I'm fairly sure he's here to stay as long as his growth is about topped off. His demeanor is good out of the cage. I hear this is somewhat common with retics.
Wallace is more "involved" than the others here and it's not a plus, but we've had very good interactions as of late.
He's just not a snake you site and watch TV with LOL!
I'm glad you like the hook!
