Yeah, a snake wouldn't be your best option. My suggestion is get a rat. They are fairly tollerant of moving around, not inclined to bite and extremely intelligent. My wife and I raise rats as well as snakes. All of our rats are litter box trained (only go in thier cages), have free roam over the house while we are home and do not bite. I have only been bitten once by a rat and the only reason I got bit was because he had a seisure while I was holding him. Other than that I've never been bitten out of aggression, like how you'll get nailed by a hamster everytime you reach in its cage. As for intelligence, they are every bit as intelligent as a dog, yet can be as stubborn as a cat. With work they will learn thier names (although high pitched sounds like a whistle or click are usually prefered), can learn basic commands (come, stay, no, etc) as well as tricks (fetch, beg, walk on two legs, wave, etc).
Other than that, get a dog.
