A Corn snake is a rat snake and as I understand it, they can all cross breed. In fact a lot of the Corn Snake Morphs I've seen actually look like the Grey Rat snakes and the Yellow Rat snakes. I'm sure somebody out there has done it or is doing it, but I can't direct you. Sorry.
I am well aware that a corn snake is indeed a red rat snake I am an experienced breeder. I do know that they can in fact be crossed. I am looking for someone with experience in the cross breeding. Thank you for your reply. I know I am new here if you check in new members area I have posted there my experience. Although I am still learning things I am definitely not a total newbie. I am trying to work with new animals. While also working with animals I am experienced with also.

well you did say "...I am well aware that a corn snake is indeed a red rat snake I am an experienced breeder......"
and you also said "......I am looking for someone with experience in the cross breeding...."
Why would it be any different? They are all Rat snakes. You're an experienced breeder. Just put a Red one and a Grey one together or a Yellow one and a Grey one whatever and see what happens. They'll either mate or they won't. Right?

That seems really uncalled for.
As for the original question, I'm not well versed in the interspecific hybrids, but I tend to think that not a lot of people are working with them. Iansvivarium.com has a list of corn/rat hybrids if you haven't already been there.
Yes, you are correct. They will or they wont. I guess I went about this wrong. I have tried to research this subject. I have not been successfull in finding the answers I am looking for. From what I gather I will have to breed and raise up baby's and pair back to mother or father with offspring and eventually end up with tequila sunrise babies. This is a long term or "possible" project so I am looking for info from someone who has tried or has been successful with the project. Again I was not trying to offend you or anyone.
Thank you I will look there. I am just researching and thinking about this project.

Doesn't do "casual"
Wait, what? I haven't followed Sean's work with tequila sunrise very well (what up with the inaccessable/nonexistent documentation in the hobby anyway?
) but I didn't think they were hybrids.I imagine it's a reference to Arrested Development.
Is this one of yours?
I brought home a lovely little guy yesterday that I am told might be a corn/yellow rat cross. He is a rescue and the pet store had just labeled him as a normal corn snake. I have named him “Terry” (short for terracotta) and he has both saddles and stripes. No head stamp or belly markings. He could be kastanie motley/striped, but both his color and his pattern are very even and regular the entire length of his body and both of those morphs seem to tend towards irregularity. If he’s a kastanie motley, he’s a darned fine one! On the other hand, if he’s a rat snake he sure is sweet-tempered! He came from a situation of severe neglect, and doesn’t seem to have any issues with handling that aren’t easily explained away by that.

This thread is several years old and the original poster lived in Ohio, so I'm thinking it's pretty unlikely your snake came from them! But if you post a picture, maybe we can figure out what's going on with his morph or intergrade!

Very cool looking snake! I think there is no way that is a pure corn (if it even has any corn snake in it at all). I'm not super experienced with the different rat snakes, so I'm not sure exactly what it is. Hopefully someone with more rat snake knowledge can chime in!

Yes....young Everglades rat snake. Use to catch them by the dozens down here in south Florida about 30 - 40 years ago.
