Hi all, I got a 2 month old amel corn last week. She seems quite happy to be handled and is settling in nicely.
I've noticed however that she likes to suddenly 'jump' off places requiring some quick moves on my part to catch her! The last corn snake I had never seemed to do this and google seemed to confirm that corns don't jump.
She will suddenly slither very fast and launch herself off an edge, like taking a running jump!
Anyone else seen this behaviour? |

| I agree. My 4 month old likes to make mad dashes for the edge of the bed with no sign of stopping. I just keep an eye on it and stop it especially with our cat! |

| just make sure you're handling her where she can't fall any real distance.......sitting down with a towel over your lap should help prevent falls and escapes |

| Thanks, guys. I'll just make sure I pay close attention when I have her out. She will say curled up in my hands for up to 10 minutes sometimes. Other times she is more energetic! |

None of my bigger snakes do this but the amount of baby snakes iv had out of the 50babies this year only a few have sort of jumped, its because they feel threatend, all my babies are kept in the small cricket pots and iv found it makes them alot calmer, if they go into a big space or home/viv to quickly while there tiney it can make them snappy, feel threatend and a bit wirey.
Boogles like the pic of your RO, iv got quite a few myself including some babies iv kept on this year lol |
With 27 beautiful corns I definitely have snakeitus :-) |
