Hi,

I thought corn snakes were supposed to be docile snakes. This is the reason I got one. It is my first snake, I am used to having tarantulas and scorpions.

I only have it a few days but it seem to be a crazy snake. It is a snow corn, which has beautiful markings and red eyes. The first day I picked it up it seemed to be ok, obviously it tried to get away from me but didn't struggle that much and moved from hand to hand.



Yesterday however I picked him up and almost immediately he tried to bite me, I put him down as I didn't really want to be bitten. A few seconds later I decided to try again as I thought maybe I startled it or something the first time. When I put my hand in the cage to pick him up he coiled up like a spring and snapped at me with super speed. Has anyone else experienced this from corn snakes. How hard would a bite be from a baby corn, it is around 10 inches in leant. Are they all like this or is mine just a physco!!

Thanks for you help

Dave
