Can you hold a corn snake?

yes corn snakes are known to be a lot nicer than other snakes and often used as pets. Just do not move to suddenly around them or you will frighten it and might strike. before picking it up or anything let it get used to you by slowly putting your hand in front of it, if it flicks its tongue towards your hand do not get frightened it just means that it is getting used to your hand. it might even on its own start crawling up your arm thinking its a tree trunk , which is very normal behavior.
