Got another inexpensive, "aggressive" corn snake. Except this one is supposedly in his 4th year (a little small?) so a bit more set in his ways and ready to do battle. He already marked me getting him back out of my transport bin. They've been handling him by snake stick and I got exclamations of concern when I was bluffing a bluffing snake into aiming for the center of my flat palm that he couldn't get teeth on with his size if he wanted to in order to move him from their critter keeper to my pillow case. I'm guessing all he mostly knows is food and dragged out by snake stick. He's also in blue so he's just thrilled with all of this. Although he's quite shiny. At least definitely in the front half. Maybe that clearing point before the skin truly comes off?
Turns out my pillow case got a hole in the wash and I didn't check close enough.
Good thing I used the container with definitely no rodent chew holes cause my husband cracked it to a striking snake. That threw a wrench in containing him while I converted the same bin to his quarantine tub. It took a bit more to get him into a smaller container since he got wise to my fake out earlier but he's much more happy on a moist soil mix with hide and combo of a flat rock and some leftover small slate tiles for basking spot. His striking and posturing is coming down already. Pics of orange and red snake in orange container don't show color the most accurate but he's quite a nice okeetee.
