spazzy little corn

[Brandon.O]

well ruby has a new nick name, its SPAZ becuase thats exactly what she is.
Lately everytime i reach my hand in there she FREAKS OUT, like when i touch her she zips around the cage until i finally grab her and pick her up,then she is very nice and calm as can be,she has even struck at me and gone into 's" position.I know a few other people on here got new baby corns,are you guys havin any trouble with them bein not so friendly or scared ?? I know that she is still young and needs time to get used to me, im not scared of her,actually i think its kinda funny how she thinks she is so bad and tough,its almost cute

Me. Lol, I got mine about 3 days ago. He does the "s" when I get into his cage all the time. But when he's out, hes perfectly fine.

Well, she's also pretty small, and a huge hand reaching in there to grab her prolly isn't very comforting to an itty bitty little snake like that. You might want to try just leaving your hand in the tank a few minutes so she doesn't get so freaked out by the sight of it.

i got mine on tuesday too,thats cool

yeah its wierd how she does that,im just goin to feed her tomorrow and leave her alone for like three days and then start the handling,i dont want her to be head shy so im goin to work with her alot,like aproaching her from the head,from behind and from above.i know she will calm down,its just....when

Ah, there's the rub. Try giving both the snakes a full week of "alone time" before trying to handle them; they have a lot stressing them out right now, and it'll take at least a week for them to settle in and really begin to be comfortable with their surroundings.
