Thumbs up Handled new corn for 1st time

Well chuffed now, brought him on Sunday & he has been settling in since then hiding all the time. Today I managed to get hold of him & get him out for the 1st time since buying him. It went well really, he was a bit timid & didnt seem too happy to stay out, but I held him for about 2-3 minutes before putting him back,he went straight back into hiding, but no bites so will do the same everyday until he gets used to me.
Really happy now

Thanks!
yeah it was good, hope to see him out tomorrow so I can give him a bit more handling to get him used to me so he stays calm.

Well done, remember when i got mine and handled it for the first time. My 2nd, the anery corn strike fed for the first time 2nite. Wasn't as exciting as when my first corn did but still nice! Have fun with your corn!

Sounds great

When I first handled mine I just let her explore, let her go where she wants and try not to just force her to stay in your hands, just keep her insight, and more importantly, in reach!

Well done on taking the first step! they are really fast at this stage, but the more often you get them out, the better they get!!

I had to dive on my 1st Corn like Steve Irwin cos it zoomed out or the hatchling tub and away! I guess she wasnt too happy but she turned out to be a awsome snake!

Well done you!
