Could a michigan rattle snake survive in the insulated crawl space of a centeral michighan home? (I have lived in this area for 25 years and never once seen a rattler or anything that looks like one) and would it share its space with a family of cornsnakes?? I know for sure they have at least one breeding pair of cornsnakes living up there. they found a 8 inch baby 3 days ago. I investagated the crawl space to day and found no signs of snakes but am planning another trip up with a heating stone to draw them out. There is a college here so its possible they were pets and got loose.

Sistrurus catenatus catenatus--Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake would most likely have no problem living under those conditions. The crawl space would make fine living conditions. As far as Corn snakes, that would be a little out of their expected range. Are you sure you are not misstaking an eastern Milk snake with a Corn snake?? Eastern Milk's are in the Kingsnake genus, Lampropeltis. Kingsnakes are know for eating snakes, but Milk's feed primarily on lizards and rodents in the wild. If it is indeed a Milk snake, it might possibly feed on the rattlesnakes.
