How far up north do those corns go? I have heard that maryland is about as far up as they live. I live in southern PA, is there any chance I can find some around me?
 
We would see them on occasion in Southern NJ, but rarely. Hognoses, yellow bellied racers and black rat snakes were far more common.
 
Ringnecks were always my favorite finds as a young teen, and we never quite knew what to do with the occasional rattling sound!

Other herps were leapord frogs, toads, spotted red salamanders, bog turtles, fence lizards, and a few others.

The joys of good ole not industrialized South Jersey!

The northern limit of the cornsnake's range is New Jersey, but they don't occur in PA. I don't think they're very common in NJ anyway...
 
Based on my area, what is the most common snake? Please don't say garter, as I know its the most common.
 
you could find Virginia valeriae (smooth earth snakes) in parts of PA as well as the higher altitude cousin, Virginia pulchra (Mountain Earth Snake), obviously the Shorthead Garter Snake is there (Thamnophis brachystoma). You might find an Eastern Hognose Snake (Heterodon platirhinos) here and there, and the only other native I know to PA is the occasional Summer rattler and some lizards.
