Biting. Although blizzard corn snakes are docile and basically don't bite, they may still bite sometimes if they are irritated by hurting them. The blizzard corn snake is a member of the family of viperidae, and there are two subspecies. Usually red and with orange saddle markings, they have a wide variety of color variations, ranging from fluorescent orange to gray, taupe, earthy yellow, and purple. They are also called "corn snakes" because of their black-edged red or reddish-brown markings on the body and the lighter and darker chevron-like markings on the belly.
