What is the best pet snake for beginners?

josh.barron asked:


I want an easy to care for pet snake, that doesn’t grow more than two or three feet. It has to be docile, and I would rather not have one that needs a regulated humidity and needs to be fed more than once or twice a week. What species is best for me?
Oh and I forgot to mention that I would like to have one that I could get out and handle sometimes, so therefor one easy to catch, does not freak out or bite… ball pythons are easy to handle right?
