Haha, My first snake was my RedTail Boa. I probably wouldn't recommend one to a younger person because of their size capability and strength. I love mine though. I waited till I was 29 to get my first snake. I'd recommend the same to anyone. Snakes live a long time, and if you buy one when you are too young (like in Highschool), what's gonna happen to it when you go to college? Be very prepared for a long term relationship with the snake of your choice. I'd would recommend Corn Snakes to anyone. I have 2 of them, and they are a blast! Good luck!

My first snake was a Brazilian rainbow boa and I lucked out with him as he was a very nice docile snake, always shed well, and was a good eater. Some do have not so great temperaments though. Jungle carpet pythons are also recommended in some "top ten lists" for relatively easy snakes for beginners, but the trouble with mine is she is always pulled back in strike pose and can be jumpy. I would suggest a corn snake (or possibly a king or milk snake) or perhaps a small boa constrictor subspecies like the Hogg Island boas. I'm not a big ball python fan. I hate wasting prey items on picky eaters and I don't find them all that interesting myself, but that's just me.

Rat snakes...i had a wild caught one for a while and he was GREAT! Never skipped a meal, always shed, everything. Mine was a little dark one from TN that was found in a construction site. Plus corns. Ball pythons were my second snakes, but they were both (the pythons) finicky eaters, mostly because they were rescues.

I suggest corns and balls. Corns are good eaters and great snakes but love to be on the move all the time and balls can be troublesome at times with feeding but are worth it and are more docile.Also I agree with red tail not being to great for beginners. Of course go for what you really want so that way you put your full heart into the care for it.
