this mean?

It's pretty normal for them to do that. It's an instinctive defensive method. Let's say they immitate what other snakes do to scare away their predators. A lot of species do the same trick. Even rattlesnake close relatives which don't possess a rattle do it.
I would guess it's similar to when a rattler buzzes his rattle, a warning or show of alertness to possible danger.
id say she is pissed ,just natures way of giving them a defence system i guess i had a 6 foot black snake that did the same thing right before it bit the he-- out of me id watch out for the strike if i were you
she is just trying to scare you it's only a deense mechanism
Hi . my son and I breed corn snakes, here's the answer, its kind of interesting. First, its nothing to worry about if you know a bit about these animals. They inhabit exactly the same habitat as rattlers in all parts of the country, so, through the miracle of evolution (sorry you other guys), they've adapted this behavior. If it sounds like a rattler, it must be a rattler, so I'll leave it alone. Its a great defensive measure when you think about it.
We have one bright red corn snake that does this on a regular basis .very interesting.
She's immitating the rattle snake behavior. Many non-venomous snakes do this. It makes predators think it's a rattle snake so they'll leave it alone.
its a mimic of a typical rattlesnake and is used to ward off predators
my king snake does the same thing its just that she is frightened once she is out she will calm down
some snakes to that to copy a rattler the scare things off. it just means is feeling treatened
i have a corn snake too but shes never done that. i read your question last night adn asked my friend (the breeder i got the snake from) and he said that its unusual but it happens adn that he(she) could be trying to make him(her)self look bigger or more intimidating adn that your snake is nerous. he sugguested that you take it out more often, once a day if you can, or at least once a week so it gets more used to being handled
good luck
