Well, you're likely to get some biased answers - this is the corn snake forum... but I think that there is no better first snake than a corn. They are beautiful, almost never bite (I say almost because you never know, but if they do it doesn't hurt), are very mellow but active enough to be interesting, and very easy to care for - especially if you have dealt with fish and turtles (a lot more work than snakes). The main problem with corn snakes is that there are so many gorgeous morphs, you can't stop at one! Good luck and enjoy!
