From your pictures I would say they were about the same length as yours when I got them. The male has always had attitude, he bit me 4 times the first time I held him at the breeders the female started off very calm indeed but has grown bolder as she has gotten bigger. They are now approaching three feet. At the moment, mine are in high sided cricket tubs with bendy branches... She uses hers a lot and often sleeps on it whereas he rarely climbs at all... not that I have seen anyway... he may do at night

Letting it near your face would really be a big no-no I think... With most of my rats I would certainly not want any near my face if something startled or scared it.

This is my female laying next to her kitchen roll hide for size comparison ....



And the male doing a bit of neck inflation ... He was in a relatively good mood though :D
