    The first two are not so much beginner snakes.

    I love gopher snakes. I must give you the heads up about them though: These are relatively calm, low-maintenance snakes, HOWEVER, they are EXTREMELY active. If you are looking for a snake that will sit in one spot or curl up on your shoulders, this is not the snake for you. They are almost constantly on the move. Very good temperaments, but a lot of people are turned off by the activity level of the gopher and bull snakes.

    I would sujest the gopher as they are quite placid, low maintanence and just throught and through brilliant fist pet snakes.
