3 feet in a year? seems a bit small for a green. Or are they significantly slower growing than a retic or burm?

yea man condas dont grow nowhere near as fast as burms or retics. My yellow is around 14 months and is around the same size just not as chunky as the green.

First off he a cute little guy.

As for the size 2.5 to 3 foot is the size of a new born. My yellow was 2 foot and a month old when i got him. He grew 3 foot in the first year. I bet anything you have a baby. If he is a year old and that size it could explain why he's biting so much. He may just be super hungry. Any idea how often they were feeding him? I feed all my babies once a week till they hit 6 months old the switch to once every two weeks.

I would try feeding him a small rat once every 6 to 7 days and i bet with in a month he'll start to calm down for you. Maybe even try two the first meal.

Thanks man, he could well be younger than i put him, i am only guessing. As far as in aware he changed hands a few times in quick succession before i got him so dont really have much history which would also contribute to him havin a bit of an attitude. He hasnt ate with me yet gona try him this weekend so hopefully once he gets a few feeds in him and he realises hes in a steady home he will calm down. It would be nice if he does but he has a forever home with me even if he stays a complete lunatic lol.

That's good to here. (the forever home) My Yellow started out mellow then got aggressive, but with work we come to a understanding. I move slow when handling and i never put him down. He knows how to read what i am going to do and me the same with him. I also found keeping the handling secession under 10 minutes he does ok over that is pushing it.

Anyway once he settle in and is eating good i hope he calms down for you.
