hi,just bought a 1yr & 4month old cornsnake, my problem is she's kinda aggresive, she strike at me 3x,& rattling her tail when im near,any advice on how can tame her? pls help,thanks :)
 
Thats not aggression, it's fear.... Let it settle in for a week or so. Only disturb it to change it's water...... Work with it like that for a while then move on to stroking it.... You need to build it's and your confidence.... Eventually it will settle.....
Or you can just pick it up and don't put it down if it bites you.....
Either way let it settle in first...
 
I was just telling chat that I hate to give advice when I don't know what I'm talking about, but a few of my new females have been like that, so I let them settle in. They still seemed a bit scared, so for one of them I took the hides and water out of the tank, and let her get used to seeing everything for a few minuets. I picked her up with my hand in a t-shirt (incase she tried to bite) and let her move around. After a little while I removed the t-shirt from my hands and she crawled all over. She's been sweet and gentle ever since. It worked with another female as well. I don't know if I just got lucky, but it's a thought if nothing else seems to work. Best of luck! :)

First thing..
Just look at that little guy and Laugh at him and ask him who is he trying to hurt.
then pick him up. A little snake like that can not hurt you or break your skin if he does bite.
