  2. The corn snake can slither easily.It can hunt for predators so it's behavioral.The corn snakes adaptation is that it can camoflauge which is a physical adaptation.Did you know that golden brown corn snake will survive longer. When I was outside with my brother Jacob and my friend Lucas we found this corn snake in my neighbor hood and then it went under the ground.

  3. Corn snakes feed by sucking the sap out of corn plants and corn kernels, and, although native to North and Central America, is now a common pest to farmers worldwide.

    The Corn Snake climbs well, but is most often terrestrial. They exhibit an interesting threat display. They raise as much of their bodies off the ground that can be supported, while keeping the aerial portion of their body in an S-curve. The mouth is held open and the snake hisses. They also vibrate their tails when alarmed.

    corn snakes are medium size snakes.:)

    1. Well Valeria,back in the early years ,farmers were to plant ears of corn.But mice and rats were to eat those ears of corn,but these snakes came along (corn snakes) and ate all those rats so those farms called the snake a corn snake for saving their corn.

  9. Valeria, corn snakes got their name both from the pattern on their belly, which looks like Indian corn.
