Heyah,
I have. 1 1/2 year old corn, who has never really had any problems, I've never been bitten and he's generally pretty cool.

I don't really handle him much anymore, quickly before a clean out and obviously I pick him up before dinner but that's about it as I handled him regularly when I get him and he was fine, never agressive, and a few weeks ago, when I handled him, he wasn't agressive then either.

Anyway, I'm taking him into school on Tuesday, just fed him today (Saturday evening) and when I went to pick him up he sort of moved real fast towards my hand. I took my hand away because I was a bit shocked yet he was fine when I picked him up again and when I put him back.

I'm now worried about taking him in to school, do you think it was just because he was hungry? Admittedly I don't handle him that much anymore but I've never had any problems.
I'm going to try handling him Monday and see how he is.

I find when mine get the slightest smell of a mouse they go into feeding mode so that's probably the reason for him thinking you were on the menu lol

That maybe it, I don't defrost it in te same room but today the mouse was ontop of his tank,,so not far away,

Do you defrost the mice in the same room as him? Maybe he could smell it before you picked him up and thought it was food time?

It was just before I fed him.
Guess its my fault because I don't handle him much, but I did "tame" him when he was a baby and he has always been good.

If it was just after you fed him maybe he was in 'feeding mode' and got a bit confused. One of my hatchlings, Aurora, has thought about attempting to eat me straight after she'd fed, but once she got close to me she realised I am not a pinky and changed her mind.

Hopefully he'll be back to normal on Monday.
