We got this corn snake about 10 days ago.. I tried to go in to change his water last night and MAN did he go OFF on me! He stood up like a cobra and was rattling his tail like a rattler, and struck a few times.. I did manage to not get bitten via a thick longsleeve shirt I was wearing, but still.. any words of wisdom here? He was not like this at his former home, but maybe he is still settling in...? Yikes though, he is insane!
EDIT: I "cowboyed up" and put on a long sleeve shirt, and took him out. He struck at my arm twice but I think he was bluffing; once I got him out, he started exploing more in my ars instead of just snapping at me.. I guess he is only like this when I disturb him in his tank?
I feel bad for him really; he was ignored a lot in the past year or so; just basically they opened his cage to clean and feed. I think that has alot to do with it.
