Hi all you corn snake folks, I have a young male okeetee that approximately 18 to 24 inches. I bought him at the Long Island herp expo. He was very calm and handlable at the show but that didn't last long. He is the most aggressive corn I have ever seen. All he does is strike constantly at any hand movement or any movement at all. Is this something that is common to Okeetee phase corns? We also have a reverse okeetee and an amel, that are both just fantastic, very calm and love to hang out with you. Any ideas from all you corn experts. I am still learning about corns. Thanks in advance for any help. P.S. We have benn taking him out and handling him 3 to 4 times a day, and we don't put him down until he relaxes, but it hasn't seemed to make a bit of difference.
Mike
