Aggressiveness

I have not touch my corn snake in a couple weeks or so but I have kept up care such as feeding and checking temps my question is every time I go into my snakes tank to change something they seem to get very aggressive and I just want to know what steps to take for my corn snake to not be aggressive towards me

Really the only thing you can do is regular, consistent handling.

Even if the snake seems like it will try to bite me?

In short, yes. Unfortunately you will need to train your snake that it does not need to fear you. How big is your snake? If it is still young, then it is most likely bluffing and won't actually bite, and even if it does it most likely won't hurt a bit. One of my snakes was very bitey when attempting to remove him from his tank when he was young but was always be fine once he was out.

If you're worried about the bites, you can wear a thin glove to help build your confidence. If you're feeling nervous, your body will act nervous and make the snake more nervous too. So try to fake confidence!
