If you can find a breeder who is selling adult snakes, the snakes have probably been handled by people a lot and will probably be friendly. Baby snakes tend to bite a lot, but you can get them used to being handled and have a friendly snake eventually.
Try to find a breed that is known for being friendly like a red-tailed boa. There are lots of boa/python breeds that are NOT friendly, including:
African Rock Python
Nicaraguan Boa
Hogg Island Boa
Emerald Tree Boa
Green Tree Python
Try going on www.kingsnake.com and posting your question in the boa or python section, a breeder can probably help you pick a good snake for you.

If you've only had a cornsnake before, try a boa (perhaps a rainbow boa) or a ball python.
Too many people buy burmeese or reticulated pythons and then abandon them when they get too big or too hard to handle. You have to be a real expert -- plus be ready for a 30+ year committment -- to get a really big snake.

I used to have a python and a boa constrictor. Hands down, the boa was a better choice. They were both at least six feet long. Had them for years, but that python always, always, bit me. I ended up giving him away, the boa, I let have the run of the house if I wasn't away, and if I couldn't find him, he'd be up on top of my curtains. He was a very cool snake.

I had a ball python once and my friend had a byrmese python(VERY LARGE). If I got a byrmese python I would want it from a baby to keep from being intimidated....besides that, my friends snake was SOOOOOO attached to her, it was weird.

Buy only a captive born baby and stick with a smaller species such as childrens, ball or blood python.

Oh.
I'd get a python.
I bought my first python three years ago.
They're easy to handle and like to be out and explore.
But they don't really like loud music.
The vibrations get to them and they tense up alot.
But pythons are maybe easier to feed too.
Start off with 3 mice and go on to three rats.
Simple as that.
