Just for funsies. Have a few pics of the different ones I've got. Maybe one of the looks will appeal and give you more direction.
Since you're planning to stay local for college as of now, you'll likely have less issue about size and care since you're most likely going to be around to do it yourself. Just something I try to caution pre-college age kids of when they mention snakes & especially parents who aren't too interested in caring for them.
Kingsville locale bullsnake
Coastal carpet python
Ivory blood python
(Sorry in advance if the pictures look weird. Tapatalk likes to flip mine around at random :/)
