yea you should give him at least a week with no handling, just check up on him and change the water. then after the week, take him out maybe 15-20 min every couple of days to get used to you handling him.

corns aren't really the hang out kind of snakes when they are young, at least none of mine are yet. they can be very flighty, mine will try to jump out of my hand when i first pick him up. but once he realizes he's not dinner, he calms down. they are not like ball pythons that will sit on your lap or just hang around your neck.
