Frosty is probably around four, I don't actually keep track unless I know for sure. He's big enough to breed, but he hasn't yet. He hasn't improved dramaticly since I got him, but now you can kind of tell when he will bite, and when he might bite. There's always a 90% chance with him though. I will admit though that I don't handle him as much as the others simply because it really seems to bother him. I'd rather have him snappy and happy, I guess. He's a pretty snake, so he's fun to watch anywho. I do wish he was a little gentler, but you can't change pets (or people).

Were you referencing yourself on this matter? Considering the things that people COULD have said, I'd say we've been very gentle.

So, I guess Frosty is just destined to be that way. Good thing he's a corn snake, not something more toothy.
Do you think it's uneasiness, or more like territory aggression?

It bothers me that you are asking us to respect you and your wishes when you can't be bother to respect other people at all. We are not asking you to change but to afford the members here some respect. You've been disrespectful and rude on a number of posts here in your own thread and others.
There are a wide variety of people here, some are hippies and some are very conservative. I don't always agree with someones political views or personal choices, but I respect that they have a right to their opinion and to state their opinions in a respectful manner. It's how you've stated your opinions that is rude and how you've attacked members here that has upset a lot of us here.
Honestly, I think you may have a lot to contribute. But I am not sure if I will be willing to hear. Everyone on this forum loves cornsnakes, and other snakes as well. There is a lot of knowledge and sense of sharing that knowledge here that is very beneficial. We've developed a community here in which I am very proud to be a member. You have a choice to apologize for your mistakes (which so far you've refused to do, when you are so clearly in the wrong) and to continue to be a member of our community, or you can leave and at this point you would not be a loss as you've contributed little but sarcasm and a bad attitude.

You know, Alan, it might be a combination of the two. He will strike if I reach in my hand to clean something up or refill the water dish, but he has never seemed to mistake me for food or anything. He does not like his cool-end hide disturbed at all. He does seem very nervous/agitated when I hold him otherwise though. I think it's just the way he's wired, but I hope it isn't genetic!

I always thought that an animal would eventually get used to something constant that doesn't harm it, but some people have snakes that stay bitey.
I say change his name from Frosty to Feisty.

If it's wired that way, I wouldn't breed it. An animal that has genetic issues just passes them on. You would be doing a large disservice to anyone who got the results.
BTW you haven't lived up to your PM. The masses are still waiting...

I don't think you should be breeding anything. Least not until you GROW UP.
You can ignore all the posts about your horrible, childish behavior, but they're still here. You know, if you're going to play with matches, you're going to get burned. You make your bed, you lie in it... But considering the level of maturity your posts have shown, you'd rather not.
Frosty's got good sense.

Lol, Alan, his full name is Frostbite.
Sodga, if it's a fact that they pass on their reputations, then I won't breed Frosty. The last thing I want to contribute to the world is more bitey snakes.
