Corn snakes are non-venomous snakes native to the southeastern United States. They are known for their vibrant colors and patterns, which can include shades of orange, red, and brown. Typically, they grow to be about 2 to 6 feet long and are popular pets due to their docile nature and ease of care. These snakes primarily feed on small rodents, which they constrict before swallowing. Corn snakes are excellent climbers and often inhabit forests, grasslands, and abandoned buildings. They play a vital role in controlling rodent populations in their ecosystems.
