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 |

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.  |
