: If your corn snake is young it is natural for
: them to bite, they are frightened and are
: only acting on instinct. They will move out
: of this stage as they get older and you
: handle them more. Never handle your snake
: after feeding, it upsets them and they could
: regurgetate. Also if it is getting ready to
: shed it could be upset and unable to see you
: and its surroundings. Just give him/her some
: time and try to handle it as much as
: possible, even ten minutes a day is enough
: for them to get use to being picked up,
: taken out and jossled around. The snake will
: eventually learn your smell and get to know
: you better and know you don't mean to hurt
: it. Also, don't touch its head, they are
: very head shy, if you are doing this while
: you are handling it, that could be another
: reason why it could be biting. If you have
: any questions just let us know.

: ok, for some reason my snow corn snake keeps
: bitong me when i try to hold it, it is

: it is just a phase, because i dont handle
