Bubba, my Black and white columbian will now after a little work sit and sleep on me without much fuss, anyone else got one this tame?

My Argentine B&W is extremely tame. It is about the size of your Coloumbian(2-3 inches smaller maybe) and still has quite a bit of green on him. He is very calm. He does run away a bit when I go to pick him up, but quickly calms down. He will rest on my lap for a few seconds then he will walk off and explore my room. Even when my cat walked in he didnt freak out. I bought my Argentine from LLL Reptile for I think $80. My little Argentine B&W is very healthy and is eating fine. If you are thinking of ordering from them I would recommend it. It has a full tail, all it's toes, no excess shed, and pretty much in perfect condition.

At 13 lbs 5 oz, Rufus is very tolerant. I don't know if he will sleep on my chest. I do have to ask what brand of substrate is that? I looks really clean.

My Columbian is pretty tame as well. He does exceptionally well around sudden movements now, he used to be quite skittish. He will allow me to hold him and seems to like being scratched lightly around his neck. He'd rather explore than cuddle though.
