If you want to start with pnkies, and stick with them for awhile, you are limiting things considerably, lol. Childrens, spotted and CY spotted, and Savu pythons certainly fit those limitations, but they will be smaller than your average cornsnake (and don't stay on pinks all that long, unless you choose to feed multiple pinks vs moving up in prey size). Given the size range you want to stay within, I would suggest looking into the above named pythons...as well as a variety of rats, milks, and kings. If you want a little bigger tnan a corn, you could consider bulls/pines/gophers. There are also some dwarf boa species that are growing in popularity that should stay in the described size range. Caulker Cay boas, for example.
