Hi guys, My corn is just over 2 and a half and normally is fine being handled, recently though she has become terrified of me and bolts as soon as i touch her or open her viv, wrapping herself around anything nearby to stop me getting her out so i just give up as she gets very jumpy and nervous and i obviously don't want to stress her! any advice on how to gain her trust again ? Thanks :)

How long have you had your snake? Did you do a settling in period? Is she going blue ready to shed? What are the temperatures like in her viv? Whe did you last feed her? The more infomation you can give us the better advice we can offer. It might be something quite easy to solve for you but in the meantime I'd leave her alone and just change her water and check her substrate daily. We'll help more if you could answer the questions....
