A few years ago, after reading dozens of posts similar to this on these forums, I decided to try and develop a table of good some of the more common snake species available and compare them based on a series of criteria to see which ranked as the "best" beginner snake.
So I scored each species based on a number of criteria, such as temperament, ease of feeding, cost of feeding, handleability, as these were the criteria that most people mentioned when searching for a first snake.
Here are the results. Of course, every time I post this, people respond with "yes, but you forgot species X" or "I can't believe you thing X is better than Y". Generally I get those comments from people who only have experience with one or two species. JSYK, I have kept 30 of the 38 species on this list and have direct experience with the other 8 as well.
