hi , welcome.

How often do you handle your snake? If you don`t handle her enogh it could cause her to be aggresive. Another reason she could be aggresive is that you don`t leave her long enough to digest her food.She will nedd at-least 48hrs after feeding before you can handle her.

hope this helps megxx

Glad you have done an official welcome Darren...so we can all say hi properly. Think I have said all I would normally say in your post about your corn, just need to add the bit about the unwritten forum rule - pics as soon as possible! This link will help - http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=14.

Am not sure if you have found this with your king snake, but unfortunately you cannot trust what many pet shops tell you . I suggest you double check anything you have been told with us on here.

I know you already have your king but now you have started down the corn path...so a warning is needed - corn snakes are addictive.....and yes, the majority of us have stood up, said "hello my name is **** and I am addicted to corns........! And I am proud of it!" You have just started down that path so be warned!!

Do hope you are able to get the advice you need to help you 'tame' your corn...I have no doubts that you will, with time and patience and help from here.
