For pythons, spotted and childrens pythons are great candidates. Getting eggs from these will be quite easy, and incubating those eggs will be the same for these as for any python, meaning you'll need an incubator that will hold 89 deg or whatever the magic number is for python eggs.

American ratsnakes are easy to both get eggs and hatch those eggs. Black, yellow, great plains, Texas, etc. All good candidates.

If you can successfully maintain a green tree python, you can hatch colubrid eggs. Colubrid eggs can withstand temperature fluctuations easily and are less sensitive to humidity mistakes compared to python eggs. That is why I think you should just shoot for the pythons off the bat. If you can do pythons, you can do most colubrids easier.
