Help! I have two corn snakes, one which used to be very docile and the other was always feisty but I could hold her. Over the last few months I have not been able to give them much attention other than feeding them. Now they both attack me every time I go near them whether they are hungry or not. Does any one have any good ideas on how to tame full grown corns or will I have to suffer a few bites before they get used to me again?
If you are sure that they arent reacting to a health issue or environmental change you will just have to deal with the bites and get them used to you again. You could put a shirt that you have worn, and not washed, in each one of the snakes cages. This supposedly helps them associate your smell with a good experience rather than a negative.
