Corn Snake

Elaphe Guttata guttata

Description:

"Corn Snakes" are relatively easy to breed. First they have to go through a cooling (also known as brumation) period that takes usually 60–90 days long. This is to get them ready for breeding and to tell them that its time to reproduce. "Corns" brumate at around 10 to 16 °C (50 to 61 °F) in a place where they can not get disturbed and not worry about predators. When its summer they go out to warm up to their regular temperature.

Habitat:

"Corn Snakes" are found throughout the southeastern and central United States.

Notes:

The "blue eyes" is because it is a young specimen which just held its first change of skin. Then it practically "not seeing". This specimen belongs to a class at my college about "handling snakes". Specimen from "Serpentário de Furnas" ("Serpentarium of Furnas")
