Are corn snakes poisonous?
The animal is not poisonous.

According to a search of the Sogou Encyclopedia, the corn snake (scientific name: Elapheguttataguttata), also known as the corn mallow snake, is listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as non-threatened, and is a non-venomous snake. The corn snake belongs to the family Swimming Snake and is native to the southern United States and Mexico, among other places. Corn snakes are named for their red or reddish-brown markings edged in black, and their thick and light chevron-like markings on the belly. Corn snakes have a gentle temperament and are one of the popular species in the pet market.

Corn snakes feed mainly on small mammals, small birds, small lizards, frogs, salamanders, fish, and eggs. Corn mallow snakes can live up to 20 years, making them ornamental pet snakes. Because corn snakes are non-venomous, they are a favorite among pet snake enthusiasts.
