The Corn Snake
Corn snakes are super colorful, non-venomous reptiles that color up our wild world with a beautiful range of patterns including orange, brown, and red. They love sunbathing just like us on a beach holiday! and are true climbers, using their belly scales to shimmy up trees and sliding on surfaces. They have friendly temperaments and are named after the "corn" look of their belly scales - nothing to do with liking popcorn!
