A corn snake should be a good choice, very forgiving on husbandry.
My Biology teacher in 8th grade had a Boa in the classroom. It was in a tank up front close to the teacher’s desk. From what I remember, it was in the 4-5 foot range. Back then, it was truly an exotic snake that was expensive.
I’m going way back, we had no air conditioning in our schools then (showing my age again). There was no heat lamp or thought of humidity regulation. Nowadays it would be treated as animal abuse. Naturally the teacher took the Boa home for the summer.
On some weekends me and my buddy, Steve Oxley would take our shotguns to the field to hunt birds for the Boa; primarily Meadow Larks and Sparrows. My Mother was really upset
with me for storing birds in her freezer until Monday. But she knew I would do most anything for the care of an animal.
Current day, needless to say, Mom is not surprised that MY rat freezer will house overflow groceries these days.
