Young Snakes Skittish?

Yes- and it's actually a good thing because it's acting normal. Just keep "bugging" it for short sessions every day (except for feeding & after feeding & shed time), and it'll chill out soon enough.
 
I agree. Skittish is a good thing. It's a survival technique/instinct. This means that your snake is perfectly healthy and normal :D

Mine was very, very skittish, but she is coming around. I've had her for about three weeks now and tonight we had a break through! She didn't try and get away from me when I took her out of the viv and she was actually content when I held her. While she was in my hand she straightened her body stick straight and was checking out my face! :) Give it time and a little handling every day (except right before or after feeding or during shed) and it will come along!!!
 
I agree with everyone here. It takes time and regular handling and it will tame down. I've had my baby over a month and she's just getting where she won't run away when I reach in to get her out of her viv.:)
 
Mine still tries to run. Had for two months now and get him out four times a week. Is that normal?
 
Perfectly normal. They're not usually much of a "pet" for that first year or so.

If hes still young he still probably feels vulnerable from his size. Mine tries to run away when I try to take him out, but once until hes out hes calm.
 
Snakes all have their own personality, just like people do. Some take a bit longer to realize that they're not going to become a snack when the big five-headed predator (your hand) reaches for them. One of the wonderful things about corn snakes, though, is their generally calm disposition. It's a rare corn snake who doesn't calm down as they grow up.
