I caught a couple of Frogs at the Lake the other day, and I was wondering if I could feed them to my cornsnake...for a little variation in diet. They don't have any bright colours, and they're fairly small.

It is not very likely it would eat them. I wouldn't worry with even trying.
Let the poor little frogs go. What did they do to you?...lol
Your snake does not need a variety.
It eats rodents. Feed it rodents.

With the high water content of the frogs there is very little nutrition being offered but there are lots of parasites possibly available in the frog. I think they would eat them much to your dismay.

As stated it can introduce parasites. And what happens if for some odd reason it got hooked on frogs? People with hognose fight this all the time.
Corns eat rodent, babies might like anoles. But again, you can get a snake hooked on a certain type of food. There is no reason to feed a corn anything other than rodents for diet.
Just my opinion.
