The Corn Snake, also known as Cornsnake, is a popular pet snake native to the southeastern and central United States. Its name derives from the distinctive black and white checkered pattern on its belly, similar to Indian corn kernels, and its historic presence near cornfields where it hunted rodents. Physically, corn snakes typically exhibit reddish-orange blotches outlined in black along their back, with a base colour ranging from orange to brownish-grey. They usually grow between 3 to 5.5 feet in length and showcase an array of colour variations and morphs, including albino and pink corn snake variants. Known for their docile and gentle temperament, corn snakes tolerate handling exceptionally well, making them an ideal choice for beginner reptile keepers. They require a secure enclosure with proper temperature gradients from 70-88°F, regular feeding of appropriately sized frozen/thawed mice or rats, and moderate humidity levels. Corn snakes' manageable size, relatively simple care requirements, and wide availability in the UK market have made them a favourite among reptile enthusiasts. Searches like 'corn snake for sale', 'baby corn snake for sale', and 'albino corn snake' reflect their popularity in the pet trade. Overall, their friendly disposition and beautiful patterns make corn snakes highly suitable as beginner pets.
We are having to sell our corn snake due to moving next week. We don’t have space to put him. He likes to be handled however, not the day before feeding because he may bite. Fed once a week on Friday
