The Corn Snake is a non-venomous snake native to the southeastern United States. Known for its vibrant colors and patterns, it typically features orange or yellow scales with black or brown markings. Corn snakes are popular pets due to their docile nature and manageable size, usually growing between 3 to 6 feet long. These snakes primarily inhabit forests, grasslands, and agricultural areas, where they hunt small rodents and birds. Corn snakes are excellent climbers and often seek shelter in tree branches or burrows. They play a vital role in controlling rodent populations in their ecosystems.
