hahaha good. Keep us posted on your decision.

Garter snakes can be flighty and fast, but I consider them to be a largely under appreciated snake. They're beautiful, and if you put small fish in thier water bowls they will eat them, which is neat. Look for a San Fancisco Garter snake. Amazing blue and red!

Ringneck snakes are also a cool choice. They eat worms and insects, and are very docile and pretty.

Sunbeam snakes are incredible looking and docile. They're hard to keep, though.

Rubber Boas!
Rubber Boas!
Rubber Boas!

We need more people breeding these little guys
Stays small.
No external heat needed
Never bites
Adorable little eyes.
Kids love them, even the ones who hate snakes.

Just be careful about who you buy them from. Mine were sold to me as "CBB", even though it is now extremely obvious that they were wild caught.


EDIT: If you can't fine rubber boas [which you probably can't ATM] Kenyan Sand Boas make an excellent choice as well. Practically identical snakes only they do require external heat. Babies *might* also be a tad nippy, though they're tiny and the bites don't do anything. My male KSB is completely nonchalant about handling. I can poke him right in the face and apparently he couldn't care less.

Update: it's settled...my fiancee saw a Kenyan sand boa today and I've never seen her stare so long...they took one out for her and she demanded I add it to my list XD

Those are highly endangered to the point that you can get arrested for looking too hard at one; seriously, I know of someone that got in trouble for taking pictures of one. Completely illegal in the US. The European population is based on about 14 individuals that were shipped over decades ago prior to the export ban, and the gene pool there is pretty much doomed.
