well, if the snake is young then the behavoir is perfectly normal. Young snakes hide alot because for their first few years, EVERYHTING is a predator to them, even you. And most often, if you take a young snake out, it will be squirmy until it gets used to being held. After a while, it will calm down and trust you a little more once it figures out you mean no harm. Visually sexing snakes isn't really that hard, but it does take some practice if you don't know what to look for. Male corns have a thicker tail that will normally taper a few inches past the cloaca. The reason why is that their hemipenes are held inverted insede their tails. Females' tails taper immediately after the cloaca. If they are younger, you can invert the hemipenes by gently applying pressure below the cloaca and pushing upwards towards the cloaca. This can also take some practice too. You don't neccisarily have to take the snake to the vet. Most pet stores will have a reptile specialist that can normally probe it for you, or you can just take in into a reptile store. Most people will be more than happy to help you out.
 
how old is he? because baby corns like to hide alot. when i had my corns ( memories :( :cry: ) they use to hide a lot. at around 2 or 1 o'clock at nite i saw them just moving around a burrowing (i have a blue light). if its a adult probably its stressed (just a guess)
