Hello, I posted in the introductory section earlier today. Still trying to sort pics out. Anyway I just have a few questions.
I bought my corn snake on Saturday, he's a normal corn no name as if yet. I've got him in a komodo faunarium for now but have noticed that sometimes when he comes out from under his log he rubs his head along the sides of the faun, could that just be because he can see his reflection?
Also is it normal for corn snakes when handling to just settle in your hands an sit staring?
Silly questions maybe but not sure an thought was kind of odd he's so chilled when he's not been with me long
Thank you

When you first get a snake it is best to leave them alone with no handling for a week, just regular water changes, to allow them a chance to settle in to their new surroundings.
