The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The red cornsnake is a snake of the family Colubridae. It is called the corn snake because of the pattern drawn on its belly, which recalls that of an ancestral cob of maize; it is a solitary snake and does not live in holes but out on the flat, and fields and grassland are the best places for it to find food, shelter and cover. They are popular in the pet trade, perhaps because they are smaller and more docile than other snake species and because they are not venomous.
