Corn Snake

Maklumat

The Corn Snake is a type of rat snake native to North America, often confused with the venomous copperhead, but the Corn Snake is non-venomous and beneficial to humans, especially in controlling rat populations. This snake is typically orange or yellowish-brown with red patterns bordered by black along its back. Its belly features a checkered black and white pattern resembling a chessboard. The Corn Snake is a constrictor, wrapping around its prey to suffocate it before swallowing it whole. It is most active from March to November and is more commonly found during the summer months, especially when hunting at night.
