I need help with my snake?

Well the first thing you should understand is that it's a snake. And snakes aren't anything like dogs. Your snake would be perfectly happy if it never saw you, or any other large predator again.

But, most of them adapt well to being handled. Like the others mentioned, the more you handle it, the more tame it will become. However, some snakes will become stressed and stop feeding with too much handling. I doubt you have that issue with a corn snake though.

My King still shakes its tail at me and both it and the Corn normally run for cover after I remove them from whatever I need to clean. C'est la vie!

I expect it will get better as they grow especially since they live for >10-15 years...I have plenty of time to acclimate them.

Besides, I still have my three dogs to cuddle with!
