I notice you don't have Ball Pythons on your list--a BP was my first snake and he's been a gem to work with. That said, I've never owned any Colubrids--but if I was going to, I'd go with a Leucy Texas Rat Snake
BPs aren't on the list because sometimes they have feeding issues. That's not a very good case for a begginer is it?
