Corn snakes need a warm environment with a temperature gradient of 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit. The basking spot should be around 85 degrees Fahrenheit. The humidity should be around 50-60%.

Feeding

Corn snakes are carnivores and eat rodents. The size of the rodent will depend on the size of the snake. Baby corn snakes can eat small mice, while adult corn snakes can eat large rats. Corn snakes should be fed once a week.
