Corn Snake Care

Summary: Corn snakes, also known as Red Rat snakes, are ideal pets for those interested in raising reptiles since they are fairly small in size, non-venomous, and rarely aggressive. Their splotchy coloring resembles maize, which is how they got their name in their indigenous home of Mexico and the southeastern United States. They primarily eat rodents, and can survive for up to 30 years in captivity, making them one of the easiest reptiles to care for at home.
