>>I have a ball python but am new to cornsnakes. I have two hatchlings that I just picked up from the austin show. I have tried to not handle them much except for moving theem into their new containers and feeding. The Albino however will vibrate his tail when he is about to be picked up. It is actually audible. Is this normal for corn snakes? I assume he is just scared and needs to be left alone to settle in for a week or so.


It is normal. Just ignore it and handle the little guys on a regular basis. They will calm down and for the most part quit the tail rattle.
I have adults that will still do it on occaision, if I aggrivate them too much.
