All snakes bite, especially when they are young and think everything is food. Corn snakes like most colubrids and will musk (release a very strong scent from their glands in their vent) prior to biting if found in the wild. If the snake is captive, the more you handle it the more "tolerant" it will become and by virtue will bite and musk less.
Snakes often have interdependent relationships with various animals, including birds and certain mammals. For instance, some birds, like the oxpecker, feed on ticks and parasites found on snakes, providing a cleaning service. In return, snakes may benefit from reduced parasite loads, promoting their health. Additionally, snakes can help control rodent populations, indirectly benefiting birds of prey that rely on these rodents for food.
There are several types of small ticks, including deer ticks, dog ticks, and lone star ticks. They can be identified by their size, color, and markings. Deer ticks are small and reddish-brown, dog ticks are larger and brown with white markings, and lone star ticks have a white spot on their back. It's important to be cautious around ticks and seek medical attention if you suspect a bite.
