Could you describe the exact behavior little more?

Handling a FWC is not like handling a corn snake. FWCs, of those I have handled, consistently seem to be uncomfortable being off the ground and supported by limbs/sticks/hands. I would imagine they do not climb in the wild very much, based on this observation. It took me a little getting used to, and frankly, it scared me a little the first time I handled one (a large adult).

They will try to "hold" on to you by pushing their head into you, and odd things like that, where a climber like a corn would be quite comfortable.
