Corn Snake reptiles for sale in Mansfield

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.
