Rat snakes are Corn snakes and vise-versa.


I've seen some incredibly tame corn snakes. I've also seen some really nice, tame rat snakes (a woman at the reptile show last month had a monster male of about eight feet long---black rat---but he was the nicest snake in the world. Not a twitch when he was picked up). I think they just need to be handled often as babies so they know you hurt them (though, like any other species, there are those random schizos that stay schizo).
