Very agressive

Humidity should usually be around 40 or 50%. And then provide a humid hide or mist the viv when the snake is in shed.

Might I suggest picking up a copy of Kathy Love's book? It is fantastic and covers all aspects of care, from beginner stuff, through breeding and genetics, and covers colors and patterns as well. Its called Cornsnakes: The Comprehensive Owners Guide. You can buy it directly from Kathy on her site, cornutopia.com. You can also find the older version (now out of print) on sites like Amazon.com for really cheap, it is called The Corn Snake Manual.
 
Okay. Temps aren't too bad. It would be nice if you could get the cool side up a few degrees, but you're heading in the right direction.

60% humidity is okay, yeah, a little high, but shouldn't do any harm.
 
well the temp is down to 72 right now on the cool side and the heated side is about 82 to 84 so the temps and the humidity is right i just hope bugs is okay he seems okay when i take him out he feels really comfortable when i play with him but he still wont move from his tree i just bought

Some of them like trees. My Fred spends a lot of time in his tree or climbing his vines (they seem to do this a lot as babies).

Wait at least 5 days from the last attempted feeding before trying again. You don't want to put him off food for good.

Good luck! :)
 
oh no i will never put him off food i try to encourage him to eat but im sure he will come out of his state and get hungry enough to eat but im sure he is fine hes just kicking back and once pinky is gone im sure things will get a lot better pinky likes to take over lol
 
What I meant by 'put him off food' was scaring him into not eating. If you constantly try to feed a non-feeding baby (like trying to feed them every day or even every other day) it can very easily frighten them into not eating at all.

When you do feed him next, put him in a small container (a plastic sandwich container with air holes in it works well, or a deli cup if you can find one) with a very very warm pinky, put him in a dark place (somewhere warm), and don't disturb him for at least an hour. No peeking!! If, after the hour (or more) he hasn't eaten, warm the pinky back up and leave him with it (in the container) overnight.
 
Also, a word to the wise with future babies, what you were describing isn't true aggression... it's fear-aggression. Imagine a monster 200 feet tall dropped things on you and then reached for you? How complacent would you be? When I went to feed Inranahe yesterday I discovered she was in blue because she tried to become a very fierce rattlesnake/cobra. She couldn't see me well. Normally she's very docile. So even your "docile" corn might bite you. And honestly, when they're babies and even juveniles it doesn't hurt very much. It's worse *after* because then you itch. O_<
