I have a new Corn snake help?

[ilovebeardeddragons]

So heres the deal. I recently got a new baby corn snake. I've had it for about 2 months and it wont climb. It hates climbing or even moving in its cage. It always just stays curled up under its newspaper. When i try taking him out he just freaks out. I still take him out to try to get him use to me but it hasnt been working. Any suggestions? I dont know the age. I get him at about 8 inches from the pet store.

I could be wrong but cornsnakes are not aborial in nature. I dont think they are climbers.
Try google and look for a cornsnake forum. You will probably get more accurite answers.

Thanks for the advice. I googled it and it said they are supose to love climbing hmm.. maybe hes too young?

Typically, these snakes remain on the ground, but can ascend trees, cliffs and other elevated surfaces. I think what it's saying is like all snakes they CAN climb but prefer the ground.
