yes they can
The easiest method is through a breeder. Depending on where you live there might be some in your area, but most of them will ship to you. The advantages to getting a snake from a breeder vs. a local pet shop are many but primarily it comes down to the health of the animal and the knowledge of a good breeder to get you the animal that will best suit you.Be sure that you get a captive bred snake and not a wild caught or captive hatched specimen. A captive bred animal is one that came from parents that were bred in captivity. A captive hatched animal comes from parents that bred in the wild but the off spring was born (or hatched) in captivity, and a wild caught snake was caught "in the jungle", sold to a pet shop and then sold to you.The reason for avoiding the captive hatched and wild caught animals is twofold. First they are often more temperamental than their captive bred siblings. Secondly they often have health issues, particularly the wild caught ones that have all kinds of parasites and bugs.

Corn snakes do not live in groups.
If you returned a pet corn snake to it's natural habitat - yes - it would survive.
Captive bred - ALWAYS ! Certain species of reptiles are becoming scarce or even extinct in the wild - due to people capturing them for the 'pet' trade. EVERY animal species has a right to live on this planet. Removing wild reptiles simply reduces the numbers remaining. There are more than enough reptiles bred in captivity to sustain suitable numbers for collectors. Besides which - captive bred specimens are always healthier than their wild-caught counterparts !
