I have a Pueblan Milk snake, a spotted python, and a butter color corn snake, myself.



Milk snakes, spotted pythons, and corn snakes are all are easy to take care of, and good first choices for snakes. King snakes are also nice.



Pythons do tend to cost more though. They are bigger than those other types, and will cost more since they need more than the others of most things, and also, a larger terrarium.



I find that my milk snake is extremely jittery, and hates being picked up, or even touched at all. I think a lot of them are like that. Some are better, but the ones that I've known are pretty jittery. But mine is still quite gentle, and wont bite me, or anything. She just flips around, and pees all over me whenever I touch her, or try to pick her up. On the up-side, she is extremely smart and intelligent, and beautiful to look at. And quite fun to have around even if I don't get to handle her a lot. Plus, she is very simple to care for.



My spotted python is very quiet, and a lot slower, and doesn't mind being handled. She is incredibly sneaky, but a real sweetheart, and also quite easy to take care of, except more expensive than my other snakes, because she is larger, which makes her need a bigger enclosure. (I have a 60 gallon tank for her) Spotted pythons can live in 20 gallon tanks, but it's uncomfortable for them when they are full grown. It's better to have a 30-40 gallon tank, or larger for them.



As for my corn snake, he and can move very fast if he wants to, but he's usually pretty slow, and doesn't mind being picked up all that much, although he would rather not be held. He doesn't pee on me though, which is nice, and he doesn't bite either, or hasn't yet.



I've only ever been bitten by my python, and it was only because I had the smell of her food on my fingers when I put my hand in to take her out and feed her in her feeding tank. Always wash your hands very well before, and after handling a snake, and always feed them in separate enclosures. Don't feed them in their regular tank, or they'll start attacking anything you put into their tank, including yourself, thinking that it's food.



Those are just some ideas of good first snakes to get. They are all pretty basic, and all have different, unique personalities, and habits.What are good types of snakes to have as pets?A lot of snakes are good pets!



Here are my Top 5 Beginner Snakes:



1. Corn snakes:

Easy, docile, eat without hesitation, beautiful, affordable, and come in so many colours it's super hard to choose which you want!



2. Boas:

Maintain a managable size if male. Many dwarf species are avaliable as well. Gorgeous snakes, all the pointers of corns, except they can be more expensive.



3. King snakes:

VERY enthusiastic feeders, beautiful, juvenilles are docile, but babies can be quick. Overall great snake.s



4. Irian Jaya Carpet Pythons:

Great snakes if you want something a little more difficult, but do ALL your research before purchasing one!



5. Ball pythons:

Last on my list for good reason: they are bad bad feeders. If you're going to get a BP, make sure you are sure it's a good feeder on FROZEN mice, NOT live, and make sure you let it adjust a good long time before you handle/feed him. '



Remember to do ALL your research and really think it out before you purchase!What are good types of snakes to have as pets?
