How do you know if your corn snake gets stressed out easily? Mine always seems calm and cool but I just want to make sure.

Great list from Nanci.
Also, when you get used to how he normally feels when picked up, you'll be able to tell from changes in muscle tone. If he tenses up more than normal, or if he seems "flabby" or too relaxed, those might indicate stress.
I reckon tail-rattling is the classic immediate sign, and not eating is the classic medium/long-term sign.

Mine regurgitated once, the first time I fed it. But that list is very helpful, to the OP and to me.

Death roll doesn't mean the snake is dying, it comes from an alligator/croc behaviour where the animal grabs its prey and spins like a log around and around very fast. If you put an iguana on a leash, it may display this behaviour! A snake that desperately wants to escape you might do this.
