Corn Snake

Corn Snakes are a group of two species of Rat Snake. Designated by the scientific name Elaphe Guttata, they are known for being somewhat small compared to other Rat Snake species. They are found throughout south-eastern and central North America as well as parts of Mexico.

Corn Snakes are known for being ideal pets and are one of the most widely available snakes in the pet trade.

  • The Elaphe Guttata guttata is prevalent in both central North America and also parts of Mexico. It is distinguished by having red blotches on its skin which have black borders
  • The Elaphe Guttata emoryi is prevalent in the eastern United States and has grey blotches instead of red ones.

Corn snakes, as with all Rat Snakes, have a diet primarily consisting of rodents.
