Thanks
Rob

I had one for 3 years and it never bet out of aggression or tail whipped or even pooped on me. It would eat right out of my hands and sometimes I would let it run around the floor and I would through crickets to it and it would eat every one of them. he did not mind being held at all.

good luck
Jake
