[edit] Mexico

The article says, "They are found throughout south-eastern and central North America as well as parts of Mexico." This isn't good wording, as Mexico is in North America.

Agreed. I made the change. This page is not one of those where such acrimony exists that edits without prior discussion are resented. Feel free to make bold changes, that is what Wikipedia is all about. Good spot, by the way.--Counsel 15:52, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Subspecies

The article claims that there are only two. Does anyone have a cite? My understanding is that there are multiple: The Rosy Rat among others is not mentioned.--Counsel 15:59, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] feeding

Do corn snakes constrict their prey?

Please sign your comments. Anyway, wild corn snakes and captive corn snakes fed live (live feeding a pet corn snake is a bad idea) will constrict their prey because they have to. Pet corn snakes fed f/t prey will not always constrict, but if the prey is moved they may wrap a coil or two around it and constrict out of instict. Blue Phoenix 22:57, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Use of cedar as a substrate

Cedar and Pine are both widely known as toxic to many varieties of reptiles including corn snakes. A note of this should be made in the vivarium seciton. [[1]] [[2]] --Elgringo18 17:10, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit]  ?????Is it true??????

There is no proof that this information is valid. This website could say, "Corn Snakes can not survive in the wild but can breathe under water and fly", and no one would question them. So who's to believe them? Now, I'm not saying that I believe that accusation personally, but just making a point. Is there any validation that i=this website is for real? I haven't found any, and have come to the conclusion that I shall not. Is there anyone who believes they have found proof? Just asking. November 1st, 2006

[edit] I agre

Soooo....

I slightly agree with the <?????Is it true?????> comment. It is likly that they misguided us and lid, but what wood be there reeson? makes no sence.

[edit] Caring For them

In the section 'Corn Snakes as Pets', it merely describes breeding and the way they look. If it would be fine, please add information on feeding rate, in captivity and in the wild, light, how to hold them, and how to, in general, care for them in captivity.

Thanks.
