Corn Snake (Red Rat Snake)

Ray Bosmans introduces the Corn Snake. This snake used to be very common in the Mid-Atlantic Region but its numbers have gone down due to confusion with venomous snakes and the pet trade.

My corn snake isn't active like on occasion he will be out. When I first got him he was pretty good but now he is always hiding, anybody know what I should do?

[MrCagleguy]

actually to JamesyIsNotADinosaur another reason it is called a corn is because their belly looks like maize which is a type of corn

This Guyb Believes That Corn Snakes Look Like Corn. Jesus, What Has He Been Smoking. Actually The Reason Why It Is Called A CORN Snake Is Because It Lives Among Corn To Look For Rats And Rodents Feeding On The Corn. (:
