    The Corn snake is made in the U.S.A.. It is native to the eastern, southeastern, and central United States and to northeastern Mexico. Its favorite habitat is open, sunny pine forests where it is found on both the ground and in trees. Your best bet is to try your local pet store though.

However, for those of us who enjoy the thrill of hunting for snakes in the wild, young corn snakes are particularly fond of hiding under bark of dead pine trees. Corn snakes have also been known to be found living in rock piles, abandoned log cabins, barns, along roads (squished and unsquished), in and on the edge of corn fields, and they especially like abandoned orchards. Occasionally one will see a Corn snake crawling out of the burrow of rabbit's or cotton rats. In the spring these snakes are largely diurnal (active during the day), but in in the summer they are active more at dusk.
