Location Cornsnake

Cornsnake is a beautifully colored non-venomous snake living in dry bushes and forest areas of the USA. The body is white-yellow with significant red spots on its back, while a pale band with dark spots covers the lower part. A V-shaped spot is visible on its small head. It is a relatively peaceful snake, but in danger starts to oscillate rapidly with its tail, erecting the front part of its body and might attack as well. Snakes are active mainly at night, but in the cold seasons they are also active during the day. The snake is called a "corn snake",  because it mostly likes to hunt at night in corn fields, where  is a big amount of rodents.
