corn

Snake; n.

A north American colubrid snake often referred to as the Red Rat Snake, found commonly along the SE seaboard of the United States. It grows to approximately 4 feet long and has red or burgundy blotch markings on a gray to brown to orange to orange-red background colour. The belly markings of this snake often resemble the patterns found on indian corn. This is where this animal has believed to acquired it's name.

I caught a corn snake just the other day, I found it in the local barn when we were checking the feed stock.
