my friend had a snake and he let it sleep under his bed!

it started wrapping around him and it stopped eating.

the vet said it was wrapping around him to measure how big he was and it stopped eating so it could eat him!.

corn snakes are poisonous and it biting you could be bad.

just get a dog. they are much more affectionate"

this is rubbish, unless he owned an anaconda...

and corn snakes ARE NOT POISONOUS .

john, please do a little research before spamming that in an effort to gain a point.

and as far as being bit, the more you hold the snake the more confortable it gets.

and don't feed it in the cage/aquarium.

that's like having your bedroom, living room and bathroom all in one.

take it out, handle it for a minute, then feed it in another container of some sort, even a cardboard box works.

then after feeding, replace it in it's home.

sometimes they can get grumpy with a full stomach.

stretched skin is sensitive.

Answer 10

maybe he just thought you were food, if he only did it once it should be ok.

Answer 11

if a corn snake try to bite you it's maybe because your hand smell like food.

or maybe because he's about to shed during that period they became almost blind so they can bite more easily so you shoudn't handle him during that period.

that could be the way you handle it.if you pick him by the tail or too near of his head it can bite you.

don't worrie continue handle it and it will become more use to your smell and will stop bitting you.

Answer 12

I would be scared of him from then on! Maybe you could sell him to Petsmart or something. Sorry that happened. =(

Answer 13

Maybe he is hungry

or he is about to go in shed

those are some reasons

also it could be just that he is growing up lol

dont be scared corn bites arnt babe

especially if its a baby

just like some Velcro rubbing your skin at the most

Answer 14

Answer 15

Answer 16
