If your child is gonna be handling the snake then it HAS to be a Royal / Ball Python .. they’re slow moving , calm and rarely snappy .. ( I’ve never ever come across one that’s been snappy )
They’re big enough to handle plus they’re very slow moving and predictable - hatchling Corn snakes are tiny and are as fast as hell when they’re young .. maybe ok when they’re 18 months to two year old .
The MAIN thing when buying a Royal / Ball Python is to buy off a trustworthy source/breeder and ensure that it is a GOOD feeder !!
Here’s one of my babies ( just out of the egg) and a Corn baby for comparison
