Corn Snake…
The corn snake is a non-venomous snake found in North America. These snakes make good pets — they are rather calm and easy to care for. However, they do tend to escape from their homes, so a close eye should be kept on them! They grow 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 meters) long, and can live to be 23 years old in captivity.
The corn snake is a constrictor. It bites its prey to get a grip, and then coils tightly around the prey and swallows it whole, sometimes suffocating it first, sometimes not! Rodents, lizards, bats, frogs, small birds and birds’ eggs are all food to the corn snake.
