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. In this free video clip series, our expert will share information necessary for the prospective corn snake owner, including tips on creating habitats for the snakes, feeding them, and recognizing potential illnesses before they become fatal. Demonstrations of proper handling techniques and caring for a snake outdoors are also included.
