>>We have a yearling corn that we bought. When you first pick him up he exposes his hemipenes. he does not appear to keep them out when he is just sitting around or in a rubbermade tub and once you handle him for a few minutes he puts them back in. What is going on?







I caught an adult eastern black king that was one of the most angry king snakes I have ever seen. Every time I tried to handle him his came out, he musked like crazy and tried to repeatedly bite.

As the little snake gets more used to handling it will stop doing this.

Like Kin had touched on, it could be more familiar with the man that handles it and he may also handle it more loosely allowing the snake to feel less threatened.
