When will most of the corn snakes come out? Because last night mine did not come out until around 2. Or do the like to come out in the morning more?

One more question is it better to take you snake out at night than at day? Or it does not really matter.
 
Corns tend to come out at dusk or early evening and/or early in the morning but they can also keep quite weird hours and slither around in the middle of the night- It's nothing abnormal. Because corns are more active in the evening I'd suggest handling them then to avoid any possible stress. Having said that, none of the corns I've handled have seemed very grumpy at all if disturbed during the day.
 
It's just my opinion, but I think corns are predominantly nocturnal due to predatory pressures more than anything else. They hide in day from hawks and such, then come out under the cover of darkness. It has been my experience that the older/bigger a corn gets, the more active it is during the day. Again, according to my theory, this is because they have fewer predatory concerns.

So, I'd handle your corns whenever you want to do so. It won't stress them out, IMHO.
