New Corn Wants Out!

I handled my corn for the first time today, he struck at me a couple of times as I picked him up and rattled his tail if I made any sudden movements while holding him, but overall, it was a really positive and humbling experience.

Since the sun has gone down, he has spent all but a few 5 minute breaks here and there, desperately looking for a way out of his viv. I have checked time and time again for any potential escape routes and haven't found any, but I am still paranoid that he'll get out somehow... Do you think his taste of freedom earlier today has spurred him on to be more active in seeking escape?

I know Corns are eager to escape thier vivs normally, but this is the most active he has ever been when I am around and the lights aren't off! It is great to see him being active, but if he's out of sight I begin to panic and have to check he is still there (newbie-worry syndrome I guess!).
 
Don't worry! I posted pretty much the same thing after a couple of days of having Travis, How glad I was to see him out but a little worried that he really wants out!

I was reassured that this is what they do when they feel at home, they go around and around their viv searching for a way out, going over, under and around everything, if they don't succeed they start again!

Think of it as a sign that he is settled in! :)
 
WOOHOO!!

Well, if that is the case, then I think he is well and truly settled in! His noisey explorations (and my constant worrying) stopped me from sleeping :rolleyes:

Thanks for the reassurance :)
