I am really turned off of ball pythons because of bad prior experience. I am sure I will eventually come around to them, but I don't love them.

As far as corn snakes, are the different colors associated with different temperaments or is it purely aesthetics?

Funny, I was about to recommend a BP. Milks and Kings are good but man do they have high metabolism rates! And they're fast and far more skittish than the laid back BP. But when they do bite (highly unusual) it does hurt because they possess those pro frontal fangs. Boas have two rows of teeth that resembles
humans. I'm a boa man myself.

I vote Corn snakes. They come in many splendid colors and get to a good size. I wouldn't recommend a milk snake for a beginner as they, or at least mine, can be really aggressive (they can have a nasty attitude) and they are quite skittish and unpredictable when being held.

Corn Snakes all the way!

Unfortunately, Corns are illegal in some states...beware. Never had a chance to own a Corn here is good ol' GA.
