Given only those choices, I would go with the cornsnake first, followed closely by the spotted python. Both species are easy to care for, calm natured and stay a reasonable size. Ball pythons are notoriously difficult feeders, even with so many being captive bred there are still a vast number of farm bred or wild caught imports. Balls are great snakes, don't get me wrong, but I'd never recommend them to someone just starting out no matter how docile and reasonably sized they are. The Brazilian rainbows require very specific care. Unless you're commited to making sure everything is perfect, they aren't a good choice though they're exceptionally beautiful snakes.
