ok,
got my new baby corn yesterday, beautiful snake, maybe a foot long, yesterday i held him/her quite easily even though they did snap at me once, but today is coiling up & running, should i just let him/ her get used to the tank or is there something wrong?

All new snakes should be left alone for at least a week. It is probably stressed from its new environment and needs time to acclimate. Do not handle it for some time. Also, do not feed for at least a week either. That way you lower the chances of it not eating and becoming stressed from trying to be fed.

I got my first corn on saturday, and apart from removing poop and changing water, I have left it alone, screened from the world by a sheet of polystyrene (for extra privacy) and s/he spent the past 3 days hiding under paper towel layers. However, this evening, s/he has been out of hiding for the past 4 hours, exploring branches and looking for escape routes and doesn't even hide when s/he sees you looking at him/her. Leaving them to do their own thing for a while definitely pays off in my experience

Congratulations on your new addition too

i agree i let all 4 of my corns settle in for a week first then feed them and dont handle your snake for 48 hours after feeding too

Ditto to Hades.

Give her at LEAST 1 week to settle in, but trying to mess wioth her your stressing her out and hes already stressed enough now that she has a new tank, new smels, new person. Its extremly overwhelming for them.

When i got Squigs my Retic, I left her for two weeks she was pretty much terrified after being kept in a rabbit cage and not being fed properly, then being transported, and put into a huge tank where this crazy lady was constantly adujsting the temperature and cleaning up her pee and poop. lolz!

After the 2 weeks she settled in and now shes loves her new home!
