i have two cornsnakes and a ball python but my cornsnake jackson i have had for about two montsh not very long. when i go to pick him up he takes of like a ribbon snake really fast. and i pull him out every day but i end up holding his head because he keeps biting me. any suggestions? ps he is captive bred plz help
 
Grin and bear it, a little corn bite isnt anything to be worried about. Do not restrain him, all thats doing is making him dislike being handled even more. Ever few days reach in and grab him quickly, and just let him slither through your fingers, once he calms down a bit put him away. Only a few minutes every few days is fine, as he gets bigger and more used to you you can start increasing the time. Also watch carefully how your handing him, fast movements right infront of him can seem like a predetor to him, try to think of yourself as a gentle moving tree he's climbing.
 
"Happy trees" :grin01: Very good advise, and I would like to add, holding him over his viv for awhile in case he shoots out of your hands...
