There is some debate about how these beautiful
snakes got their name. To some people, their striking color looks like Indian corn. Other
people think their name comes from their habit of hiding in cornfields where they can dine
happily on a plentiful supply of rodents.
Corn snakes have suffered because they are
sometimes confused with the poisonous copperhead. In fact, they are gentle snakes, easy to
tame, and often kept as pets.
