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.

When you bought him at the show he was not all toasty and warm and more then likely scared.If you buy a pair of gloves and work with him by handling him he should get out of that biting stuff.Think about this he was cramed into a deli-cup then bounced around a few times(aka people looking at him/her.Then this large warm thing(aka you lol) buys him and puts him in a strange place.Then tries to reach in and eat him/her(aka handling to you) lol.
