  1. Not venomous.  Bites may hurt from large specimen.  They have 80 or so recurved teeth for grasping prey.  This being said, Corn snakes are one of the best natured of snakes and are very tolerant of handling.


  2. no they are not poisonnous. and they are the most easy to care for pet snake. i dont think it hurts that bad when they bite but anyway corn snake almost never bite unless they are provoque  or if your hands smells like mices.

    I have two 4 and 3 months old corns and they never bite me.

  3. they are poisonious i'd know i've been bit by my baby corn they look like they have no teeth but they have millions its stings no emgency room needed

  4. no they are not venomous which is the correct term. Yes there bite can hurt since they have several teeth and can come out into the skin if bitten. If you know how to handle a snake and feed it this greatly reduces your chances of being bitten. Also snakes dont have mouths like ours and are teeming with bacteria like salmonella so bites can become septic if not properly cleaned and disinfected.

  5. no

    and to football3d you sure dont know much about snakes because corn snakes have teeth not fangs poisonous snakes have fangs which they use as a defense device when a venomous snake bites you it injects venom in you through their fangs

  6. No, corn snakes are constrictors meaning they constrict, or squeeze there prey, they are non-venomous. This is why they are the number one snake for beginners.  A hatchlings bite is barely noticeable, they have tiny teeth and cannot break the skin. An adult corn snakes bite May draw blood, but barely, it would cause more of an abrasion to the skin then an actual wound. They have backward facing teeth designed for helping food down, not really made for attacking. Corns seldom bite, only if they feel REALLY threatened.

  7. no they are not. they are actually very good beginner pet snake. and i know their bites dont draw blood but i would imagine it would sting a little

  8. they are not poisonious, they are very edible. they are not considered venomous, but recent studys have shown them to have venom glands, but no delivery method. some of the most venomous snakes in the world are colubrids, as are cornsnakes. the bite's not bad, even an adult. you just bleed a little.

  9. They are non-venomous , thats why so many people in america have them as pets, if any snake feels threatened, it will bite , but it depends on wheather it is a adult or a hatchie, adults tend to hurt a bit, but hatchies usually dont.

    just wash the bite under some water.
