Yes he is huge. I have only had him a few weeks. I got him from kelly here on the forum. She told me he was big and a sweet heart. He does not hiss or gape but he also does not willingly climb on my hand yet either. Takes a little coaxing.
A easy way to do so is get a rope that he can hrip and let him on it amd just mark the rope from his head to tail then measure the wrope so he isnt as stressed as if u put a tape measure next to him
