Hi I just bought a baby albino cornsnake. I love this little guy he is awsome, but unfortunatly we are still getting used to each other. I am not sure how to aclimate myself to him and him to me. When I hold him I fear that he will strike me and I don't fear the pain because he is so small but I fear hurting him by my recoil. His head is no bigger than my pinkey finger. Infact I just moved him to fuzzies for food, took him 30min just to get his first one down. I just want to be comfortable holding him and him be comfortable with me, any suggestions anyone? I bought him about...3 or 4 months ago. I have tried holding him and when I do he usually turns around and looks at my fingers like hrmmm lunch? and then I panick and set him down. I just don't want to hurt him. I thought about using gloves at first but am not sure if this is good or bad. Im not a wuss as I said I just don't want to hurt him. I have been using the Crystal Springs water in 5Gl. jugs that I got from Kroger for 4$. He seems to like it. He is spoiled He has a 40 GL terrerium, A big vine he loves to lay on at night, 2 logs to hide under, a Big ceramic heater and a pad heater that is connected to the back of the tank. I use the repta-bark for bedding. And the humidity is usually between 45% and 60% Temp is about 80 during the day and 72 at night. How does all this sound and any help anyone can offer I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
