What snake is right for me?

[ThatPetPerson]

Hi everyone! I'm new to the snake world and I'm looking into getting a snake (not for quite a while but I want to be prepared) and so far I've narrowed down the snakes that I could possibly get to ball pythons and corn snakes but I'm open to other options. I feel like this would be easier for you to help me if I tell you what I'm looking for.

I like the thick, solid snake feel and look

I would like a snake that could just chill with me on the couch but will also tolerate handing and be somewhat active

Not too big. I would say 6 feet max

Good with kids (one girl I babysit comes to my house and always want to see my pets)

Not nippy

Lives 15-25 years

Not too complicated heating.


Thanks for reading!!
