If you like the look of boas/pythons, I'd suggest something along the lines of a ball python or rosy boa. Many ball pythons can be especially gorgeous, in addition to being puppy dogs. They are a fairly heavy-bodied snake but you get the python look without the massive length. Overall the ball is a great beginner's snake and my personal recomendation.
