I just got my corn yesterday, and I took him out today to give him a little soak in some warm water. He has peeling skin on the back of his neck and the humidity is a bit low in my house (27%). I'm gonna make him a humid hide soon, I really wanna get that skin off. When I took the top off he recoiled into his hide, I picked it up and he was all coiled up. Not looking so friendly lol I've never been bitten by a snake and at that moment I was actually afraid xD It took me like 5-7min to get him out. He soaked for 20ish min and getting him out was a pain. He curled up and had his head raised up. When I finally picked up up he went nuts whipping around like crazy. The second his nose touched the aspen he DRILLED in there and was gone in 5sec flat. He's obviously terrified of me Anything I can do? I'm not gonna handle him until the end of the week (feeding) so he can get comfy. How should I be picking him up? I have no choice but to go from the top. I just usually touch him and see his reaction, then grab him. I *am* using both hands to support him. I know I'm a sissy for being afraid of him striking but it's more of a fear of the unknown. I've been torn up by cats n birds n dogs so pain isn't the issue lol I'm that kinda person who doesn't like jump out scenes in horror movies so the sudden striking kinda unnerves me xD Sorry the boxes look like crap I'm getting new hides soon >< He hasn't moved from the cool side since I put him back.
