snippy corns

Hey guys, I have 2 corn snake, both are about same age and length, bout 10 mths to 1 yr old and around.... 15" or more, these R guestamites I'm not hundred percent sure.... any way, when I go to pick them up they are very skittish and run away... I u.understand them being scared but will this ever end? My Albino will southern away but ill just pick her up, my snow will either away but will bite me after trying to pick her up, rightfully so, shes aggravated. Will they grow out of this, and be like my ball Nd brb and just let me pick them up? Thanks!

Re: snippy corns

Our little ones are about the same size and also slightly skitty - i ensure i stroke them gently to make sure they know i am there before i try to pick them up.

Our adult corn is adopted so not sure what sort of life she has had but when we get her out we do the same - stroke her and make sure she is aware of us before lifting her out of the viv.

One of ours (the one that is escaped) will rattle his tail at you until you pick him up - then he is fine. I think being confident in the picking up helps - iff you are nervous because they look aggressive/skitty then they pick up on it and are more likely to strike (imo).

Re: snippy corns

Yea I believe that too. My Albino will scurry away, but she's fine after I pick her up, the snow will bite till I get her up, them she is fine. Lol I think it will just take some time...
