| Hi - I got my first snake, Maisie, yesterday and I'm chuffed to bits with her. She took a pinkie today, no on strike, but I warmed it and left it beside her. She quickly manouevred round and chomped it down. As she's small she's in a box with kitchen paper and as I went to put the lid back on I rustled the paper and she rattled her tail at me! My son nearly died! Is this normal? I'm guessing she just got a fright. |

| Yes its normal, scared Corns can rattle their tail. As they get used to their surrounding and you they will most likely stop. |

Speaking of it actually; my male did it last night when i put my hand gently on his head while i moved the log, quickly moved back when i'd finish he started hissing!
I'm sure though if it persists its a "get the hell away from me" rattle.

| Thanks guys - she had just finished feeding so I'm pretty sure it was a frightened response - new surroundings, new feeder etc. She's been fine since, and quite active, so I'm not nervous about her. Thanks for the replies though - this is a great forum! |
