Scott, I love the backdrop to your viv!
Also, if you go to handle him again, and he gets ready to strike, a wee tip I've picked up from the guys in my local pet shop is to move your left hand, with open palm, towards your corn's face, and then pick up the body with your right, all done with confident movements. It makes your hand less difficult to bite. I'd only do this if there was a very high chance of your corn striking though, as I suppose a giant hand coming towards his face might be a bit stressful. |

Thanks for that. Will give it a go if he looks like he'll strike.
As for the background just did a google image search for jungle pictures and then printed a few off. |
