Re: Which snake is this? Is it a Corn Snake?
Thanks for your reply, I am confused too. I have never seen patterns like these on a corn snake or rat snake. I am afraid that it may be venomous.

To me it looks like a cowboy corn, which is a gopher snake crossed with a corn snake. IDK.

Re: Which snake is this? Is it a Corn Snake?
As for the behavior(I think it will help in identification of this snake) I noticed, its a slow moving snake, a little faster than sand boa's.
very good climbing ability.
this snakes can move backwards, and it usually hung itself by coiling up its tail.
Sometimes it moves it's head side to side.
I am also attaching a head closeup.

Re: Which snake is this? Is it a Corn Snake?
Thanks Detroitboa13, I saw some pictures of cowboy corn.
Gopher has quite similar patterns.
But I am still confused.
Can it be venomous?

No it is not venomous. It is a cross breed between two constrictors both of which are very harmless. In my opinion this is a great find because you have the beautiful scales and patterns of the gopher snake and the head and body structure of a corn snake.

No idea for exactly what it is, but looks like a eat snKe of done nature, completely harmless.

Re: Which snake is this? Is it a Corn Snake?
For sure it is some sort of rat snake and they are NOT venomous at all. Beautiful snake.

Re: Which snake is this? Is it a Corn Snake?
Where was the snake acquired? Was it bought/found even in the U.S.? The reason I ask is because it somewhat resembles a Diadem rat snake (found in Africa), but I'm not sure.
It does not look like a corn snake at all to me, but I would not completely rule out a hybrid because Lord knows there's been a million crosses between corns and other species.
