A few snakes that I recommend are Arizona Mountain Kingsnakes, which max out around 4 feet, have gentle dispositions, and are good eaters. Another species is Nelsons Milksnakes, again max around 4 feet, eat well, and I have never been bit by them, or you could go with the normal old cornsnake, which large ones can get around 5 feet. Hognose snakes are another small, gentle snake that are great too. All of these would be fine for life in a 20 gallon long aquarium, maybe a little bigger for the corn. I have a few of each one of these species, and they are all wonderful animals. Good luck!

Corn snake, Milk snake, or King snake. They usually grow to between 4' and 6' long, and are very little work to look after. research what you want first. Different types of snakes grow to different sizes. Pueblan Milk snakes only get to about 4' long. Honduran Milk snakes grow to a little over 6'. A 50 gal tank should me easily big enough for any of these, even when fully grown. I have a Tangerine Phase Honduran Milksnake, and he's great. Very affectionate, likes lots of attention, loves to be handled, gets fed once a week...

Corn snake! I have two and let me tell you they are way less maintnance than Ball Pythons. Cornsnakes will stay small and only need heat, water, bit of light or sun, and food once or twice a week. Ball pythons are great, don't get me wrong, BUT to properly care for them you have to maintain water, heat, light, some sun, hiding spots, humidity, good feeding schedule, and handling. Both species are great but if you want small low maintenance, corn snake. If you can handle the work, go ahead for the Ball Python! Good Luck!

You should try getting a corn snake. They are the best snakes for beginners. They only grow to about 6ft long. They are gentle and are very cheap. They also don't take up much space.

HAPPY TO HELP!!!!

p.s-You should enjoy having a corn snake.

it depends on you. if you don't mind feeding a snake mice then a corn snake would make a good choice,but if you don't want to feed a snake mice or any other rodent and wouldn't mind feeding one some fish and insects then a garter snake is one of the easiest. this is only my oppinion. you could do some research on different types of snakes by reading books or going on the internet.

Depends on what type of activity you want in a snake. Corn snakes are active when held but hiders in the tank. King snakes seem to be the same way. Ball pythons are slugs, they wrap around you and stay there or they wrap up in a ball and stay there.

for python's either a solomon island tree(rare to find) or ground boa

Ball Python. They actually don't get that big, 6 ft. (2 m) tops, and most specimens don't even get that large (maybe 3 ft. or so). I've handled them before myself, and they are generally very docile.
