I had on for a relatively short period of time years ago when they were still mostly wild caught. Let me tell you an attitude of a 6' wc tic is not very pleasant. Only snake I personally dealt with that was worse was a wc atb. Down right ferocious were they...lol.

Yes sir retics have come a long way since then, but you still run into CBs that are not so nice, the problem with retics is once you've lost thier trust it's damn near impossible to get back, they tend to be nasty for rest of thier lives once that happens.

ATBs can be pretty bad too, got a couple of those, one is just laid back as all get out, handles like a BP. LOL

You want something really nasty though Bar-neck Scrub python....my Male will try to take your head off every chance he gets! LOL

I've dealt with both. Just stick your boot in front of the atb face and they'll bounce off the rubber lol

haha when you've got 4 or 5 adults coming out of one bag and a hook in each hand. Sometimes you need the boot in the air to keep them at bay.
