Match Me To a Snake
So, I saw a similar post to this one in general lizards and figured I'd post one here.
Housing - Preferably between 10 gallons and 20 long
Temperature - Would like a snake that can live in an ambient temperature of between 68 and 72 degrees
Care - Something a bit easier that doesn't require daily care more than misting and changing water
Handling - Would prefer something that doesn't mind handling, but temperament does not particularly matter

Re: Match Me To a Snake
If you can provide a hot side of around 85 I think you could do a Corn, but I'm not sure if a 20 gal will be sufficient for an adult.

So your parents agreed to letting you get a snake then?

Its gonna be tough keeping anything with those temp and size restrictions.

Garder Snakes can be as Low as 72 with a UTH of 86.. Thats the coolest I've heard. They are around 4-6" when born and Males 2' full grown.
20 gallon Long is good for housing.
I found this by a 2min Google search.

Size wise of the enclosure there are several possibilities that are easy to keep but at those temps, those possibilities are now gone.

There is no snake that can live in this temperature without additional heat. However, if you mean an ambient of 68-72 F with a hot spot of some kind, then that is another story.

Not entirely true.
Rubber Boas are commonly kept at room temperature and it's actually recommended as temps hitting 80F+ can prove fatal, 65-75 is a good range to be in for them.
They also meet every other specification of the OP.

Russian Rat Snake if you bump your temp 3 degrees to 75F. Even though the 20gal tank might be too small.

A 20 gallon would work as a starting tank, but you'd definitely need something larger permanently, as they can get up to 6 feet long and love to climb.
