Beginner needing advice

[JustMe91]

Hello,

First of all I want to thank everyone that is patient enough to read my english mistakes. I live in the netherlands and the dutch forum has not been able to activate my account for almost a week so I gave up. This forum just activates my account immediatly awesome.

I have never had a snake before. But i found these kinds. Thamnophis elegans , Thamnophis proximus, Thamnophis radix, Thamnophis sauritus en Thamnophis sirtalis.

I have an aquarium of 100x50x50 centimeters ( 39..4 inches by 19.7 inches by 19.7 inches) and i have found a place that can make the lid with the build in stuff for lights etc that will fit this aquarium. This is the max space i have for the snake in the future.

What i am looking for it a small snake that is happy if i feed him/her fish i will breed my self (i dont know if its the same in english. Guppy.) , chicken heart, chicken liver, wet quality cat food, fish food worms they sell in a fishing store. but mostly fish and chicken heart tho.

I thougt if i feed my snake some fish every time with a chicken heart or liver cut up and next to it, it should be enough? and every few months that i go buy some worms? is that okay? and once a week cat food?

I am looking for a calm snake that does not fly towards my face every time i touch the snake. just a calm one. and i had a hard time finding that. also i dont want to have a snake that eats mice. and i really love bright colours and round pupils. round pupils make them super cute. all other snake eyes just look scary to me (im sorry snake lovers i dont mean to offend you.. im also scared of spiders so yeah.) I am looking for a snake that does not get too big and is happy living in the cage i have for the snake after the lid and lights and everything is done.

I would love to have a snake with bright colours like bright blue and red and yellow and white. Im just getting 1. I learned you need experience to keep 2 together and that they dont need another snake but just tolerate each other.

Any tips on how i should arrange stuff in the snakes cage is welcome. I really dont know much yet. I know about a bowl of water and places to hide. What i should put on the ground. that i have to get fake plants (i dont like plants they bring bugs all over the house and i kill them every time. i can take care of animals but i forget about giving a flower some water). I know i need special lights. one thats like sunlight. one red light for the night. and one half of the cage warm with a rock where the snake can sit. and one half cold without warm lights. these things i know.

Thank you so much for reading this. I hope there are people here that can answer my questions and teach me. Im in no hurry because right now my hamster lives in the aquarium and she has at least 1.5 years to go(also why i want a fish eating snake i love rodents).
I hope i can get answers without too many typos or short cuts like idk is i dont know. because i have a hard time understanding those most of the time because i dont speak english in daily life.
