Good points. I have come to believe that they were named due to the corn/maize pattern on belly, not so much due to having been found in corn cribs. (Although that may be the reason for the common name in some regions.)

Interesting that a local FL boy and friends called them Red Rats. Thanks for the local lore.

(Read the main Rat Snake forum for my Found success story.)
