Here are all the results with descriptions

a Corn Snake.
Corn snakes are good starter snakes because they are easy to care for and handle. They don't get super big, only about 1.2 to 1.8 meters, so they don't need a large space. There are also easy to breed.

a Rosy Boa.
Rosy boas are fairly docile and they only grow to about 3 feet so they are good choices for novice snake handlers. They won't break the budget either because they only cost about $35. Don't buy a baby snake unless you want a long commitment because they can live longer than 25 years.

a Ball Python.
Ball pythons are one of the most popular pet snake for intermediate level handlers. They need humidity in their cage so they should have a hide box, a ceramic water bowl big enough to immerse themselves in, and a top to their enclosure that provides some shade.

a Western Hognose Snake.
If personality is important to you, you might think about a Western Hognose if you are an intermediate handler. They have a cute face and they are one of the most vocal snakes out there... hissing and puffing up when they feel threatened. However, they would rather burrow or flee rather than bite.

a Reticulated Python.
Only expert handlers with with assistants and large enclosures who are okay with snakes that weigh more than they do and that reach 20 feet long can consider a reticulated python. These snakes are active, intelligent, inquisitive, and sometimes impatient. Some people feel they are too dangerous to be kept as pets.

a Milk Snake.
Pueblan milk snakes stay small, but they have beautiful vibrant colors such as red, peach, white, and black. They will also eat dead food, so you can buy frozen or thawed rodents from your local pet supply store.
