Very agressive corn !

[CorallusX]

Hi guys! Maybe some of you will be able to help me. I have an E. guttata and she is very very agressive. She always strikes and bites. I have never heard of a corn so agressive. Sometimes i'm just walking in front of her terratium and she strikes me, even if i'm like... 2m away. She was'nt like that before! Do you have an idea why she became so agressive! Thank you!

make sure she has alot of hides and that the temps are good(around 80f to 85f) and just feed her heavily! Good luck bud!

You could also check for mites, it could be irritating her. And maybe get a fecal done to check for internal parasites.

Whenever I go to pick up my corn, she whips her head around like she wants to bite me. No matter if I just fed her, fed her like 4 days ago, or it's time to eat. lol

Its possible she's going into a shed cycle and unable to see as well as usual, so is feeling more defensive than usual.

That's a pretty stupid answer. What are you basing that on anyway? :rolleyes:


CorallusX, how old is it?

Young corns can be little hellians! They should calm down though.

But just because it's a corn, that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be a docile animal.

Here are some tips you can try...
