The detail
The normal, or Carolina, corn snake is the wild-type rat snake of the southeastern United States, orange with red saddles. It is hardy, tolerant of handling and a reliable eater, which is why it is the most recommended first snake.
What to weigh
Corn snakes are escape artists, so the enclosure lid must lock. They are more active than ball pythons, which is fun but means quicker handling.
