for a kid's first snake,i would go for a kingsnake or a corn snake.if you aren't too keen on feeding rodents,there's a product called 'snake sausages',which are essentially rodent hotdogs.well,maybe vienna sausages.anyway,some pet stores stock them,(frozen),and they are available online,too.i have personally never used them,but the people i know who have have gotten mixed results.either the snake will eat it,or it won't.i would start with a kingsnake,those freakin things will eat most anything.

stay away from milksnakes for a first snake,they tend to be a bit too squirmy for most kids.a king or corn will settle down alot quicker.
