Well, I fed him on wednesday fine. He took it well but lifted his hide to check on him this afternoon and he was breathing really fast looked proper peed.

Normally when I handle him he tries to wriggle away but when he's out he;s sound. He really didn't wanna come out,


but checked tonight and no bulge, and the poo is yet to be found so I think I mightv'e distrubed him but my sister WAS singing in the same room REALLY loud so I'm not sure if that spooked him, but he is okay now.

All snakes can have off days sometimes.
Jaspers the happiest, most friendly snake..
But he's occasionally a little cranky if I get him out during the day.. and has rattled at me before, so I just leave him alone during the day :P

He'll be fine.. Leave him until tomorrow, and he'll calm off ^^

They do it to trick possible predators into thinking that they're rattlesnakes ^^

Lol, fails badly as mine only wiggles when he's got a gob full. So not really any point of them doing it, if they can't strike.

but if some silly hawk in the florida everglades saw a corny with a mouth full, I'd be "bird-brained" enough to leave it.
