My corn is around 20 months old now we have handled him every day apart from when he is shed or 48 hrs after a feed. He is very placid and easy to handle I even give him to the kids freinds that are scared of snakes and he is as good as gold. The last 2 days he has been moving very fast and a bit of a hand full his temps are fine he is eating fine the only changes are I recently moved him up to a large mouse every 10 days and moved his viv(but only about 10 foot from where he was). I understand that it is that time of year but do I keep handling him or leave him for a week. He is currently in his hide at the minute which is also strange, he only uses this particular hide when he has had a feed. He has just shed and doesn't look like he is in shed again.
Just sounds like a bit of breeding season behaviour. You can keep handling if you like, he'll just be wiggly and about and about for a while, I wouldn't worry :)
Thanks, he is my oldest snake so I have never seen this behaviour before, if he is feeling frisky I will keep him away from the wife and stop listening to Barry White ;)
Strange behaviour
