In my opinion, corn snakes are a great starter snake. They are hardy and get very tame. However, a kingsnake or ball python wouldn't be bad choices either. The only problem with the ball pythons is that you have to be sure it is captive bred and feeding (preferably you should get your snake from a reputable breeder). Ball Pythons are also slower in there movements, baby corns and kings, in my experience, are a little faster and squirmier at a young age. Regardless of what species you choose, good luck with your snake!
