Hi guys,
I just had my corn snake set up for about 3 days now. I think I will have to handle him over the weekend to transfer him from the main tank to feeding tank. Can someone please give me a detail, step-by-step, idiot-proof instruction on how to handle a baby corn snake? My corn was hatched in July last year so still a baby.
He is still a bit skittish. He saw me just now and immediately made a dash into the hide. If I'm like 6 feet away from him, he's brave enough to poke his head out of the hide. But if I go any closer, he immediately makes a retreat.
From my reading, corn snakes do not like to be approached from the top but then how else do you approach it? I mean he's in a fauna which can only be opened from the top! Is there a trick or something that will calm him down or signal I'm not a predator or stuff like that.
Pleast help! Thanks a ton. :cheers:
