New corns not calming down.
I have some new corns and was wondering if anyone has tried the "place worn shirt in vivarium" trick to calm a corn down?
My daughters are the snake keepers and I'm just merely a facilitator for them and their new passion, but the new members are just not chilling out.
It's been a week in the new environment and I have been the only one to get them out to test their mood. If the chill, I hand them to one of the girls and monitor behavior closly. The handling events last maybe 5 to 15 min no more than once a day and not after feeding. They are not in blue.
It is not a nippy behavior, but more of an outstretched "I want away" behavior.
I do the hand over hand method and the let them dangle/wrap/crawl on me if they chose. This being very uncommon over the "I want away".
I do not let the "I want away behavior" result in a reward of being put back in their home.
These are Specter Outcrosses, but can't imagine that would be the difference in behavior.
Any ideas to help me improve this behavior would be greatly appreciated as my Daughters are anxious to take control over these as they have their others. The others a bloodred and an amel motley are truly sweethearts.
