Well that sounds like typical behaviour for most snakes when nervous - you've described a textbook defensive position.
Honestly Nevin, this genuinely isn't a Corn Snake - we're not trying to be arsey or rain on your parade, it just isn't. You won't find any with that amount of pure black, and the body markings really are all wrong. The head and belly markings do sound like a Corn I know, but they are common to quite a number of snakes if you're just going by a description from a book.
Could you point us to the page in the Corn Snake Manual, or the web sites, where you think you've found pics of your guy posted as a Corn? We might be able to iron out the misunderstanding.
Whatever it is, it's certainly a good-looking little beast. My money's on some kind of King or Milk, but I'm definitely no expert on those so that's as far as I'll go! I do know Corns though, and that it ain't.
