Feeding my Corn snake

i'll try to answer with as little knowledge i do have one thing i do know you DO wanna stand your ground if you do feel uncomfortable at first wear gloves just make sure that there isnt anthing he/she could snag its teeth on the last thing you want your snake to recignize is bitting means he will put me down trust me they are like dogs they do remember things like that now this one is a little harder for me to answer my corn is 7 and he has always been fed live im currently trying to switch him but only because live food can be dangerouse to your snake and live can carrry parisites which are killed during the freezing procees so its much safer and healther so if your snake has always eatin f/t (frozen thawed) then i would stick with that (he make not have the shall we say "hunting skills" to track and kill live food before it could hurt him these are just some things to think about but remember it is your snake and many people here will give you their opinion but altumitly the choice is yours

1. The lady I bought it from has had her for 2 years and I was just wondering after just bringing him home how long I should wait before handling him.

You may want to let him adjust to his new cage for a little bit, or you may handle him right away.

If he's already feeding on frozen/thawed mice, then you shouldn't feed live prey for any reason.

3. When hes full grown can he seriously harm or kill my little multese poodle? I care for both of them and how curious my dog is should I even have her in the room while I handle the snake.... The dog isnt aggresive but will the snake perhaps try to harm my dog?

Uh, no.... Corns wouldn't go after something that large. Also, don't pet your dog and then handle your corn. Your corn may smell the dog scent and may react by biting or something of that sort. I personally have pet my cat, then go to handle my corn, and sure enough, he bit me. :)
