BehaviorGeneral topics or questions concerning the way your cornsnake may be acting.
I'm sick so ya know anything most people consider nasty I'll love it and just to add yes i ACTUALLY fell on my head as a baby soooo ya know probably a major contribution. But we'll go with evil hatchling cuz im guessing they could give a nice bite as adults.
The weird thing is...my biology teacher asked me to bring him to school because well...a snake isn't a common sight here...
So I did..(with enough heat en everything...he had a first class trip )..
Anyway, he wasn't agro there...he was like the calmest snake I've ever seen ......
So could it be that he reacts like that(agro) because he sees his viv as his territory???
'Cause he wasn't like that at school
Haha yes I used the fist trick...he doesn't respond to that...just goes away...
quite, anyway. I can bag snakes that chew me up putting them in the bag, and then pull them out an hour later and they're fine. It's something about disturbing them. Whether they are resting or out and about, I have some corns that are just biters 90% of the time. But they USUALLY will be docile enough to hand to people when removed in a strange place. Temperature, hunger, nothing seems to be the determining factor.
To totally contradict myself, though, I have on more than one occasion put a docile snake into a naturalistic viv only to get an attitude upon removing them from the "penthouse." Put them back in a rubbermaid on newspaper, and they are back to their old sweet selves.
Hehe, atleast you snakes don't bang around their hides all night and keep you awake. I have to get increasingly heavier hides to prevent my amelanistic from doing bench presses with them. He's little but he's surprisingly strong, even the ceramic hides that weight close to a pound don't keep him from banging it against the glass. Every night at around 1 am, I start hearing >thunk< >thunk< >thunk<.
Maybe he's trying to chuck the thing and break free...
I think I'm going to have to resort to glueing down his hides sooner or later.
You know, I have this little hook that I purchased at a reptile show. It's small and lightweight but perfect for picking up the ones that are jumpy and afraid of my hand. I only use it with those and once they are picked up I transfer them to my hand without incident. I'm not afraid of being bitten but I have several snakes and usually busy and time is a factor. I think every snake owner would like to have one for "those" times.
I agree passport. We have eight corns and a few are reluctant to come out on their own. The lightweight hook doesn't seem to scare them at all. I slide it under them and as they curl around it I slowly pull them up, slide my hand under them and gently pull the hook away. But then again all my corns are very gentle and calm . I have never been bit or even struck at.
