Good snake for a young girl?

I recommend a corn snake too. They are also diurnal, but they seem to be more visible than bp's. Take a look at all the different ones available. This gallery doesn't even have all the morphs available, but it should give you a good idea of what's out there.

Actually, the corn snakes are nocturnal. But you're right, they are usually more active than a bp. But they could also go on a brumation period during winter when they stay inactive all winter long. The corn snakes also go with normal household temperatures. The cool thing about corn snakes is they are not sensitive to humidity.
