This is normal culbrid behavior. Corn snakes are merely rat snakes, and are native to North America. This tail shaking defense is used in all snakes, and our rattlesnakes have made much use of this habit with evolutions help. Bull snakes mimic rattlers, and cornsnakes, somewhat the same. A bity snake is a healthy snake. People showing off their 'tame' reptiles are merely showing you how sick they made their pet. Good job.

They just do this to intimidate larger creatures and make them think they are poisonous when they really aren't. It's one of the ways they protect themselves. Some non-venemous snakes will actually rise up and flatten out their heads like cobras, it's pretty cool. Don't worry about her, she's just making sure you don't try to eat her.

Like a bull snake it is their protection to make predators think they are a rattle snake.
