Normal Corn

Live Corn Snake Hatchlings

The corn snake is a North American species of rat snake that subdues its small prey by constriction. It is found throughout the southeastern and central United States. Their docile nature, reluctance to bite, moderate adult size, attractive pattern, and comparatively simple care make them commonly kept pet snakes. They are easy to tame and rarely bite and are inquisitive and relatively active, making them a great choice as a pet for adults and children alike.
