The corn snake is available in more color morphs and pattern variations than any other snake currently being maintained in captivity. Describing each of these morphs would require another article in itself. Two subspecies are currently recognized. This subspecies occurs in the Midwestern United States and is similar in appearance to the nominate race. It is generally a gray snake with reddish brown saddles.
Breeding is identical to that of the nominate race.
They are usually tan, yellow or orange snakes with large red saddles bordered in black cascading down the back. Corn snakes are found in the eastern seaboard states as far north as New Jersey and west into Virginia and Louisiana. E. guttata and its subspecies require no special care. Our corn snakes lay an average of 14-15 eggs about one month after breeding. They typically lay eggs nine days after the pre-laying shed.
