Well, IMHO given that these snakes eat pretty much nothing but mice; that they have evolved to an extremely high degree to detect and seek out rodents; that they have the inherent ability to get onto nooks and crannies where rodents have their nests; that given their diet they occur where there are concentrations of rodents; and that hatchling corn snakes in the wild are entirely on their own and must hunt out food or they die... I would say the chances are pretty good!
