Corn snakes got their name both from the pattern on their belly, which looks like indian corn, and from old southern farmers who stored their harvested corn in wooden buildings called cribs. Rats and mice were attracted to the cribs to feed on the corn, and corn snakes were attracted to the cribs to feed on the rodents, much to the delight and appreciation of the farmers.
(blatantly stolen from: Corn Snake Pictures & Facts)
corn snakes are colubrids, which means they are closely related to king and milk snakes. Corn snakes are "north american red rat snakes" apparently. (according to wikipedia!)
*shrug* cant find much either haha
i dont have a corn snake, so im not exactly an expert :P
