description Corn Snake Overview
Corn Snakes (Pantherophis guttatus) are popular snakes for beginners due to their docile temperament and manageable size. They require a 40-gallon breeder tank with a secure lid and a heat source. Their diet consists of frozen-thawed mice, readily available from reptile supply stores. Corn snakes are relatively low-maintenance, but require regular cleaning and proper temperature control.
They come in a wide variety of colors and patterns (morphs). They can live 15-20 years, so a long-term commitment is necessary. Initial setup costs around $150-$300.
