I need to thank you for asking before getting the animal. Had a biology teacher in my schooldays buy a syrian hamster and acually kill it because she new nothing and belived the pet store. Poor thing nested in a tiny plastic-tunnel that fogged up from all the huminity from his breathing, got pneumonia and died.
Well for housing a snake the others gave very good tips. For the Snake itself I would not recomend a young snake but an adult that is known to love handling and action. I have an adult Corn that is my show and tell, he is so laid back you can do everything with him, and if its action in the room he'll gladly come to the front to take a look. (Also he keeps still while handling)
Also good would be an african house snake female they will gladly take everything you offer to feed her and they really grap on tight while handling.
I got other Corns that are really shy or even agressiv, not every animal has the same temperament so get one where the previous owner/breeder can give you info on that.
