now my male corn snake shakes his tail, just wondering if this is abnormally aggressive or just something he mite grow out of?
 
Nearly all my snakes do that. It's a warning, but, in my case anyway, rarely backed up by a bite. It just means leave me alone.
 
It's quite normal behaviour. They seem to do it when they feel threatened and it means leave me alone. In my experience they usually grow out of it, once they realise you are not a threat to them, although I have a couple of adults that still do the tail rattle, when they have food and they think I'm going to take it away, so I leave them alone :)
 
I don't know, almost every time I touch an adult while they are in their bin, they rattle me!
