Easiest pet to keep I disagree with also... back to the husbandry issues.
When I'm helping friends get over their fear of snakes, I don't give them a cornsnake. That would be honestly stupid of me.

They're not as easy to handle, and to be honest, I've had more 'hungry' colubrids try to eat my hand then ball pythons. They move faster, while balls are easy for the beginner to hold. How hard is it to hold a snake rolled up into a tight ball and isn't moving compared to a skinnier fast and slithery cornsnake?
