Just got done reading this thread...

First, I'd like to say its awesome you shared the growth, and experiences with this guy Chuck. Those that will never own one get an idea of what keeping one is like. The last video didn't work for me, so i'm still at a loss for a scale on his size now that he's just short of 8 feet. I know you said the wife is terrified of him(funny enough my GF is only freaked out by my retic and the yellow anaconda), but what are the chances of some good scale pics with you in them to get an idea of what I can look forward to if mine hits 8 feet.

Just seen this. I'll see what i can do. If nothing else i'll try getting a picture of me with my arm in the cage next to him.

I did have a first happen with him yesterday. When i clean his cage and get him water i always leave the cage door open. As i was in the other room getting water he will always stick his head out of the cage about a foot never more. Well this time i come back and he is a good three foot out resting his head on some totes stacked next to his cage. So i carefully set his water bowl/ toilet lol back in the cage. He then slowly pulled his head back in the cage. As i set my hand on the tote waiting for him to get all the way in so i could close the cage, he starts coming back out and climb about a foot up my arm. He was just flicking his tongue checking me out for a good minute then he slowly went back in the cage. This just made my day. Finally building up some trust for me.
