What is the ABSOLUTE easiest snake to care for?

I would say corns and kings are some of the easiest. They eat well, require minimal work, and breed quite easily.

BLACK MILK SNAKE

1. Eats frozen-thawed rodents with MUCH enthusiasm as neonate and adult
2. Simple caging requirements (plastic tub with a couple inches of aspen shavings and a small water dish)... will need a hide box if the enclosure is out in the open, but not if you use a rack system (they like to burrow into the aspen)
3. Room temperature with no additional heating required (will do fine at 70-75 day or night)... these guys flee from flex watt... they avoid any temp greater than high 70's
4. Neonates not generally biters (but nervous)... they calm quickly with handling sessions
5. Adults calm and docile (except during feed sessions)
6. Fairly slow metabolism with infrequent pooping with poop fairly dry and with little odor.
7. BONUS- Adults are a beautiful five-six foot glossy black
