just got my new corn snake on saturday morning, the way back was rough cuz i had to take the bus so i think that really freaked her out , i try putting my hand in the viv but she rattles her tail or tries to jump at me, i think once we get the first bite out of the way and i finally pick her up gently , we might get somewhere. let me know what you guys think or suggest !

As above. They really do need the full week to give them a chance to settle in
