>>"Red Rat Snake" is a common name and common names aren't always accurate (e.g. starfish, jellyfish and silverfish aren't fish - they're echinoderms, scyphozoa and insects respectively).

>>Rat snakes, like Black, Grey and Yellow, are a different species of snake as Corns.
Yes, I know. Elaphe guttata vs obsoleta, and all that, unless the genus name has changed in the last few years. But thanks for the input! If I do end up getting any corns I may offer them a few small eggs just to see what they think about em, as long as nobody thinks it's likely to be actively harmful. I'd love to get an egg-eating snake some time, but I certainly don't expect corns to make a complete diet out of em.
