    You cant really tell. But if it’s angry at you for holding it, it’ll probably be aggressive towards you.

    has it always been aggressive
    if not then if it becomes very aggressive it probably is ,but sometimes it can be in pain of some sort
    it doesn’t hurt to be bitten by a corn snake either so just try if it does bit doen’t throw it just gently put it back in the teranium
    trust me i have 2 corn snakes and a green tree python i’ve been biten before

    ps
    don’t hold it if its about to shed it can irritate the new skin and hurt. this could cause it to bite( the skin gets pale and the eye cap dull)

    first things first don’t be scared, don’t Shake, go in like you mean business, because its the 1st time you handled it it might be a bit quick but gental but firm handling will tame it. get it out as offten as you can.

    this forum is very good, http://cornsnakeforum.proboards59.com/index.cgi

    well u can try using a hook to see if he strikes at it first before holding him or u can just let him bite u since it most likely wont hurt but once u get use to him u can tell whens hes about to strike just by looking o ya and alot of pet snakes will no once ur holding him that your just gonna hold him and not hurt him if u handle him regularly

    stick your hand in the cage if he bites you then he is hostile if not then you’re good.
