    A corn snake was seen near the pathway to the CFTA in spring and summer. It was bright orange, about 40 inches long, and likely a former pet that had been released into the wild. Corn snakes are commonly found in farms and fields hunting rats and mice, and while they can resemble venomous copperhead snakes, they face threats from humans who mistake them as dangerous.

    Corn Snake Characteristics

    Pantherophis guttatus Appearance: Bright orange in color


    Size: About 40" in length
    Location: Seen near the pathway to the CFTA
    The corn snake is a species of rat snake
    Season: Spring and Summer
    that is found throughout the
    southeastern and central United States.
    Corn snakes are popular pet choices as
    they are submissive and have attractive
    patterns and colors. I encountered one
    that was likely a former pet released into
    the wild. They range from light orange to
    dark orange and have stripes and
    patterns across their body. Corn snakes are often found on farms, hunting rats and rodents they
    prefer overgrown fields, forest openings, trees, and farms. They face certain hazards, as corn
    snakes can be hunted and killed by humans in their natural habitat due to their close resemblance
    to the venomous copperhead snakes by their bright colors and lack of heat sensing pits.
