Default My Corn thinks He's a rattler

My corn has just shed in the last hour, while shedding he did a stinking cr*p, while I was cleaning the poo he was "rattling" his tail at me, like a rattle snake. (obviously there was no sound).
Is this normal? was he just telling me to back off? I've never seen him do it before, I just laughed at him, he looked funny.lol
He has no skin left on the tail, he had a 100% perfect shed.

i have a three year old amel that we call satin, and no matter what i do she just won;t calm down, she has the spirit and the handleability (not a word but it sounds good) of a pit viper (rattles like one to). i have some big boas but the only snake that i will wear a glove to handle is satin.
