ball python ......cage should be about a 20 or 30 gallon under tank heating pad is a good heat source .....heat guns are best to test the air temp. (the heat thermometers that stick to the glass only get the glass temp. ....newspaper...paper towels wood chips ....all good substrates ...but in my opinion and many others a ball python is a good beginer snake

redtail boa...i dont know a hole lot about the mbut i hear they are doctile and are good for the beginner/ intermidiate snake handeler

gater/rat/ribbon snake....heard they dont bite much and are some what good for abeginner but in my opinion they are throw around snakes and i would never buy one ....i'd just go ina feild and find one

A ball can be a good starter snake, but there are things you have to look for. You should make sure the snake is feeding and is captive born and bred. A 10 gallon aquarium with a tightly sealing lid will be better for a smaller snake and then moving to a 20 gallon as the snake grows. Another good snake would be a corn snake. Again using a 10 gallon aquarium. Another good thing to have is a quality thermostat....Big apple sells one for about 30 bucks and are good stuff.Hope this helps,
