Hello! My name is Walnut and I am looking for a new forever family - could it be you?
I am a sweet and gentle corn snake - I try to be nothing but an angel! I am well tempered and I love to hide out in my hide, or sit with my head perched right by the glass so I can watch the world go by.
I previously shared a home with both cats, dogs, AND little children and really well with all of them. I even met a few people who "hated snakes" and my sweetness changed their opinion!
During winter months I tend to hide so much it will be weeks before I may surface again, and I get very active during the Spring.
Though there is no way to really tell what age I am, based on my size I am considered an adult at about 5yrs old now. My species can live a long and healthy life of up to 10 to 20 years. Bringing me into your family is a significant commitment, for both of us!
I can get up to 3-5 ft long and weigh between 2 to 3 pounds.
I will require my own habitat that is secure with the right diet, habitat, substrate, temperature, and humidity. Don’t worry, the rescue will provide you with all the information that you will need to prepare for my arrival
My previous family moved and couldn't take me with them, so they asked the nice people at SBRSC to help find me a new family. I am ready for my forever home. Could it be with you?
If you would like to get to know more about me NOW, just fill out the super quick application and an adoption counselor will be in touch!
PLEASE NOTE:
1- We can only accept applications from interested parties who are in or near San Diego County, California at this time.
2- We do not ship reptiles but we may be willing to work with you if you are willing to travel if you are still in Southern California.
3- #2 will depend on the animal that you are applying for and is at the discretion of the board of directors.

Quick Reference Guide
Animal Type
Snake
Breed
Cornsnake
Introduction
Corn snakes are a nonvenomous, semi-arboreal species of snake native to the southeastern United States, parts of Mexico, and the Cayman Islands. They are found in the temperate forest biome, preferring wooded groves, rocky hillsides, meadowland, as well as barns, woodlots, and even abandoned houses. Corn snakes are crepuscular, which means that although they are active at night, their peak hours are around dawn and dusk.
Difficulty
Beginner
Difficulty Notes
Because of their simple care requirements, docile but active personality, and exceptional hardiness, corn snakes can make excellent snakes for first-timers. Captive corn snakes usually reach adulthood around 1.5-2 years old, and with good care they can live long lives — 15-25 years. Some have lived as long as 30!
