New corn.. im nervous!

[Xyon]

Hey guys, first proper post!!

I got my new corn home this weekend and am slightly nervous of him.. not that he's scary or anything.. but that he's nervous of me!!! I had him out fo rthe first time just yesterday and he flew around like he was on fire.. and i found it hard to keep him cool.. i was so scared of dropping him I managed him back into his viv and flumped on the ground tired out!

Ive handled snakes plenty of times before, but never ones so zooty! I am absolutely petrified of losing him or scaring him, because i know how anxious the critters are when babies. How long do you think he will keep this up.. I like to keep him out for about 15 minutes to settle, but after that im pooped and a little shaky!

i know it doesnt help that he probably senses my nerves.. dont get me wrong though im not a blabbering wreck! but he doesnt like any pressure on him when i try to pull him back down my arm (and believe me im gentle!) and any motion towards him by others when he's out!

afterwards when he's abck in his tank he's calm and excitable.. and looks ready for more!

help??:bugged:
