I am in the same boat as you; I only received my corns about 1-2 weeks ago.
I make sure not to handle them at least 24-48 hours after they have been fed. Other than that, I make sure to handle them at least once a day. I find that they are normally "sleeping" during the day, so I guess I am waking them up.
As for the wanting to be left alone: I suppose that he'll either put up with it, or take matters into his own hand (erm, scales) and give you a thrashing.
I dunno, but I'm sure someone here will pop in and give some more/better info! :wavey:

Just see the truth
I think the mother of corns saids it best on the six post of this thread.
But you should not handle for a few days when you first get them then five to ten minutes a day after that. To slowly get them use to you but don't handle for 48 hour afer you feed your snake. And some don't like to be handle during the shed cycle.

Handling
Thanks so much! I just got my corn Saturday. And I didn't really handle it except for getting him out of his box and then I waited until sunday to get him out. And I fed him sunday night and left him alone after that! So far he has not tried to snap at me and he seems like he doesn't mind I just wanted to know if they had their way of showing they didn't want to come out.

If they really dont want to be picked up the chances of him snapping at you are next to none. My Corn usually just really squirms away when he doesnt want to be picked up, but if i show him whos boss, he usually calms down within a minute or two. Very hardy, happy animals!
