isnt he/she a beaut! (just a temp home btw, i have a nice plan for nikko in the future, aka 2 weeks)
 
its weird though, he shakes his tale like a rattle snake and when it hits anything, it makes a rattle noise. sooo freaky haha
I believe it's actually a mimicry defense type of thing. In the wild, they do it in dry grass or leaves and it causes predators to back off thinking they have cornered an actual rattler. At the store where I used to work, we always fed the snakes in big paper bags and the corns always did that. It was pretty cool
