Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I have never heard of keeping any species of pituophis with a hot spot above 85°F. As for them holding down pinkies and not larger sizes, pituophis are know to take smaller prey items much better than larger prey items. I don't know why. I would recommend feeding one or two pinks every 5-7 days for the next 4 or 5 feedings, and then trying to move to a larger prey item.

How about we GET BACK ON TOPIC?
It depends on what you mean by "friendly".
For a snake that is amenable to being handled, I vote Corn.
For ease of husbandry, I vote King.

Also, give them a 95ish degree basking area.
I'd use aspen, or even newspaper/paper towels.
Hope this advice helps.

95 ish isnt too bad if you are talking the temp right on the hotspot. like if you used a infrared tempgun. with the hottest area's "surface temp" at 95, the surrounding hot side would still only be around 85.

oh yeah... the topic.
I think Corns/Rats are a little nippy... and I'm mostly partial to any tricolor-mountain kings, and milks.

Where is the "Other" category
My first snake, Baby, was one of the calmest I have had the pleasure to own or spend time with. I purchased him from a private dealer outside of Pittsburgh while I was in college. He was a wild caught Columbia boa yearling. By the time I acquired him he was about 13 months old. He was a voracious eater, but not a biter. He only struck at me once in the 5 years I had him.
Although he did puncture my buddy's lower lip - he was drunk, not the snake - my buddy, and holding him but flicking his tongue out at Baby. Before I could warn him not to - bam - his lower lip / chin was bleeding. He stopped messing with him.
I was able to handle him at any time and he loved to walk the campus in summertime with me. He would simply find a comfortable position around my shoulders and come along for the ride. The funny part of it was most people didn't notice Baby on my shoulders and I would have to shift around to get Baby to move so that he would be noticed. As you can imagine some reactions were better then others.
