Their diets consist of field mice, rats, lizards, and birds. Separate your snakes when feeding them.

Heating should be provided. These snakes feel comfortable at 72 to 80 degrees F (22-28 degrees C ) during the day and 64-68 degrees F (5-15 degrees C) at night.

Corn snakes should be allowed to hibernate at reduced temperatures of 41 to 59 degrees F (5-15 degrees C) for about 2 to 3 of the winter months.
