| Hi, I have a Carolina corn, 9 months old, who behaved the same. Was fine for the first few days, then started striking, tail rattling, etc. both my son and I would leave him when he did it, as we were both nervous! He soon learned that he could get out of being handled when he misbehaved! We left him for a week, then my son started to handle him every day, except after feed. First time was about 1 minute, lots of wriggling, bit of a workout for both of them. It's now been 2 weeks, he still strikes if he's not taken out quick enough, but has never bitten, just hits with his nose. Once he's out, he calms down quickly and enjoys the new sights and sounds, was out for about 15 minutes today! Basically, just time, patience and confidence! Good luck :) |

Have you tried leaving the viv open for him to venture out on his own? kellogs can ba a bit grumpy if I go in to grab him out but once he is out he is so sweet and docile. We struggled initially and after his week of 'solitary confinement' we got him out daily for just a few minutes at a time. He didn't like it but we perservered. Now when we go to open his viv he comes to us. If he doesn't we know he's about to shed or wants to be left alone!
