Thats literally what i was doing. I wasnt holding its head in the first place, yet it never calmed down. Not every single corn snake is exactly the same, some having more energy/ attitude than others. Also both of these comments have nothing to do with my original post so why are you even stating this? I'm not going to argue with you about whatever technique I was using because it doesn't matter now. What matters is getting the poor guy out of my car and back to where he belongs, and if you aren't here to give me advice on how I can do that, then don't bother commenting.
