Corns definately all tail raddle. Even my most relaxed corn will do this if I move around her too quickly in the right situations.



Small hatchlings also need time. What everyone is saying about dangling your fingers in front of the snake to bite you repeatedly is, in my opinion, nonsense. It's stressful for the snake, and they could hurt a tooth biting you. Give your snake a couple of days to get used to its habitat. I never handle hatcling until they've had a week to feel safe in their space. Not everyone does that, but I do. If your snake bites you, it won't hurt, so don't be afraid. Try to be extremely calm while handling, if you think she'd going to bite, don't freak out. If she does bite, do not put her back in her tank; she'll learn that biting will get her back in her home.



Remember, she's just a baby so don't stress her out just cause you want to touch her. Give her space, make sure she feels secure, and don't be frightened cause she'll know it.



Just so you know, cornsnakes have a much worse weapon then their teeth. Sometimes they'll deficate on you defensively; thats seriously much worse. Yuck.
