Smallest snake

[Bogertophis]

I recently acquired a stimpsons python and she is super cool

very pretty with al the python attitude in a Tiny package.

Foerce eater but chill to handle and work with. Easy set up and easy on the eyes. Their eyes speaking of are super cool and bright.

That would be my vote.

YES! I have a Children's python, same sort of thing...aspires to be a big python, but never will be. Mine is docile to handle too, just a bit food crazy tho- FUN!

And while I've never personally kept them, garter snakes would also be an excellent choice, but again, note the different dietary needs etc. Depends if you just want a snake to watch, or one that handles well???

Also corn snakes take quite a while to outgrow a 10-20 gal. tank...some get over 4' but not all. Plus they eat readily, handle nicely, come in great colors,
have easy temp. requirements, and they love to climb, so the tank can have a smaller "footprint" on your desk & more height. Same for Children's python,
except they need lots more warmth than corn snakes do.

There's so many good choices, you might as well get a bigger desk...?
