I've caught "corns" from the tip of south FL to northern SC, from GA to New Mexico and from KS south into San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The only "corn" I haven't found in the wild is the old intermontana.
The most consistently unpleasant population of snakes in this species group has to be the big east TX "Kisatchie" Corns (slowinskii). They are downright horrible snakes in my experience and I've found a lot of them. I've never seen one that wasn't just a PITA.
And to make it worse, they get big. They are commonly over 4 feet and I have found several males over 5 feet. The biggest I've measured was 67" and ornery as anything.
This big brute in the photo was over 5 feet, and a "real bundle of joy". Even right off the road, these are massive snakes compared to an eastern corn!
