Very agressive

Yesturday i went out and bought a tree for both my corn snakes. When i put the tree in the cage they seem to love it and wont get off of it. I have a snow named pinky and the other one is an orange one named buggsy aka bugs. today i tried to move pinky off bugs so i could try to feed him again and to see if he is any better. Pinky just ate sunday so i havent even tried to mess with him at all but when i tried to slowly touch pinky to move off of bugs i heard the rattling then he struck and this is the third time. Im really scared and worried. Should i be? Im to the point where i want to take him back.

Sounds like co-hab to me... Did you do a search of co-hab before posting... Thought I'd mention it nicely before the starts...LOL

Ah I don't think you should take him back just yet! Some corns are just naturally nervous and with you having them co-habbed they're probably stressed out. Try getting them into separate vivs and see how they react.

is the snow a baby..
?
My baby corns have been pissy now and then..but they will get over it..
even if the snake has not had attention in a while they can be pissy..just give them time and work with them...they will get better....and it doesnt hurt really when they do get you..=)
and Co-habbing is bad..you should get them each their own home.

Excellent advice.......
I wouldn't worry about a bite..... It's no big deal off a corn.... Just a bit shocking at the speed...... And a bite looks cool when you show your friends...LOL
Really though, any animal with a head full of teeth can bite, so get used to it, it's part of the hobby/fun..... And then you can post a pick of it under bite club...LOL

Its really cool when he strikes. Yeah he is a babay a really big baby. LOL. He was pretty cool when i got him my main concern is when hes done digesting his food and i get him out to work with him cause he is kinda skitish cause he hasnt been handled as much as my other one has he will strike at my 3 1/2 year old. I could care less if he bites me. I also dont have the money to seperate them or else i would.

Well, you can cheaply separate them by using a tub even if it was only temporarily until you wanted to get a new tank. As for the 3 1/2 year old, I just wouldn't handle him while the baby is around(you are talking about a 3 1/2 year old child right?). In fact whenever the snakes are being handled in my house, the kids aren't allowed anywhere near them until we know they are having a nice,calm day and aren't in one of their moods. That includes both snakes and children! We've noticed that if the kids are really hyper and jumpy, the snakes are too!

I want to keep him but im still having issues with bugs my other one. He likes to lay in one spot for long periods of time and ever since i got a tree for them he likes to lay up in the tree. I still cant get him to eat. Im not sure if he is hybernating or getting ready to shed. The temp is fine ive got 3 things to monitor the temp.

If you can't afford to house them separately, you shouldn't have more than one. You can always go to Walmart or Target and pick up a Sterilite bin of appropriate size. It will cost you less than $5. Drill air holes in the sides, put bedding and a few hides in it, and figure out a way to heat it (not sure about using a UTH under plastic, I'm sure it would be fine as long as it is connected to a thermostat and is properly ventilated underneath). I'm sure someone can give more info on the UTH/plastic issue, as I haven't done it, so I don't have any experience with it.
