I would suggest corn snake, western hognose, or Kenyan sand boa. They're all easy to handle, stay small, and not picky about eating. The western hognose is a more expensive snake, but you can find corns and sand boas for less than $50, depending upon the morph. I don't think I'd suggest a python as a starter snake. Some can be finicky feeders, some get way too large, and others can be picky about habitat requirements.

But I think Ball Pythons are also a good choice because they are really easy to handle and there are so many routes to go if you get addicted. They can be picky eaters and have "comfort" issues, but I think that's just something you have to understand and work with if you choose that route. They also have stricter temp and humidity requirements.

I would google a snake you are interested along with the word "care sheet" and you will find plenty of links that lay out the requirements of each. This will give you a good idea of a habitat you must acquire along with temps, humidity and feeding. It should give you a good idea of what fits your schedule and the responsibilties required.
