It is usually calm and loves to be handled. Today I tried to pick him up but he tried to bite me. It seems really out of place but my friend said it might be because he is hungry because his usual feeding day is tomorrow? Could this be the problem? It really concerns me because he has never tried to bite me before. Thank you for you help! Hi, I have had my corn snake for around 2 years now with no problems.

She drew a lot of blood, I'm worried I might have issues in the future with guests. Is this mostly a feeding thing, or should I expect her to develop a taste for human blood and must keep her away from public now?. Please help I don't want to put her down.

It could be a product (hair dye, shampoo, perfume, laundry detergent, etc) that your wife uses. It could be something she is carrying, or your wife might have inadvertently hurt the snake at some point and the snake associates her with pain.
