New corn

Definitely an amel (doesn't qualify for a CC). She looks great!

And corns (for the most part!) are absolute sweethearts. Congrats on the pick up.

LOL I think i cursed myself when i was bragging on how gentle she was! LOL idk what is going on with her but I went up to the our room where she is and she wont let me touch her now!!! I dont know why... I have held her everyday for at least 30 min - 1 hr since I got her and now she is showing an attitude! but i got a couple of cool pics! I hope she doesn't continue like this cause i really like her!

Check your hotspot and make sure it's not overheating.

I wonder if that is possible ... I am learning all about snakes and loving it! Before we got her she lived in a 55 gal tank with no heat pad and no heat lamp! so the lamp could be throwing her off maybe? though it is only a 50 watt cause i didnt want to cook her with a 75 watt... LOL though temping it will have to wait till my bf gets back from Fairbanks cause i cant walk in the room with out her coiling up and striking! so there is no way i am going to try and remove her with out another adult... i am not worried she will kill me but i like to be safe lol I was thinking of dropping a couple mice but she just ate on saturday! the people b4 us fed her only every 2 wks and only one mouse so i wonder if i upset her by feeding 3 on saturday!

If it is the heat and she's acting like that you should probably just unplug whatever you're using.

Do you have a tempgun or thermometer?

I dont have a temp gun but i ll just snatch a therm out of my other tank... and toss it under the light... I need to buy another one but with school havent made it to the pet shop had extra of everything cept that... lols

the temp on the hot side is just under 90 like 88 or so...

Is the light the only source of heat? If so, did you measure directly under the bulb where it will be hottest?

Have you checked her for mites?

ya i measured directly under the heat where she would lay... and i have never seen mites but i understand they are red and you will notice them... but i havent seen anything on her around her. The owner b4 kept her in pine and my understanding is that is bad for them... i did hear a slight weeze (or that is what it sounded like) every so often last night... but nothing coming from her nose and she is active clean mouth eyes and everything else....
(she is in a diff room than my other snakes and i dont touch her then them to avoid any spreading of anything)
after reading another thread what is the poss this is all the stress of moving...

It might be fear or stress from being moved but I doubt that.

Maybe she's going into shed, perhaps a perfume or soap you use is irritating to her. Without actually being there it's tough to say.

Don't let her intimidate you and you guys should be fine.
