Corn Snake Handling

Handling corn snakes is very easy and should not scare you. First try to let him climb out but if he is unwilling then you will need to reach in there and pick him up from underneath (First make yourself visible to him so he doesn't think that your prey.) Grab the mid part of the body. Make sure not to grab his face/head. Never poke towards it head. They are not a puppy and will bite you due to instinct if he feels threatened. Let the snake crawl through your hand freely. The snake may sense your warmness and crawl up your arm into your sleeves. This is fine stay calm and let him find his way out.
