Male retics can be ornery bastards... I've been working with my male whos in the 10ft range and hes still a ****

Mine is the exact same way! Every time that door opens, he immediately thinks its feeding time. If he's really hungry, all you gotta do is just walk by his cage and he'll strike. Freakin pain in the a** but once out, he's totally fine.
