| Hi, I have two cornsnakes, Floyd who is 8 years old, we accqired him 3 years ago. And pink who we got last week, she is 3 years old and very aggressive. I haven't handled her yet we are just letting her settle in. She took 2 small mice the other night and seems to be content enough. Any tips on handling her for the first time? |

Hello and welcome 
You can wear gloves if she is really bitey, but the more you handle her the more she should settle down (...in theory!) |
