TITLE
Get up close with a wild corn snake.
Adult corn snakes do not care for their eggs, which hatch between July and September. Baby corn snakes are not as brightly colored as adults. Once they hatch, baby corn snakes eat lizards and tree frogs. They may feed every few days. They may be eaten by coral snakes and kingsnakes. It takes a baby corn snake 1.5 to 3 years to reach adulthood.
