    A snake hook seems a little overkill for a itty bitty harmless corn snake but it may be worth a try. Its very obvious that she doesn't like things swooping down and getting her but she also reacts to pretty much anything touching her. Maybe one day over our much too long winter break I'll give it a go.

    Yeah it could be overkill but if it helps it might be worth it. It's just plain annoying getting bit all the time. Could make you not like your snake and that's the first step to letting husbandry slide.
    Just a thought. I'm not saying you are not taking care of her correctly.

    Do this! Especially during day-time when they are inactive. It works for me, if you get good at doing this she will be out of her tub and in her hands before she has time to get freaked out. Just make sure you open her enclosure quietly so you don't alert her to your presence.
