Get a hatchling Antaresia python, either a Spotted or Children's. They're the probably the best beginner snakes apart from corn snakes. They typically only grow betwwen 3 or 4 feet long, 5 feet maximum, and about an inch thick, they're generally docile, and don't have the high humidity requirements of ball pythons. If you get a hatchling or juvenile a 15 gallon should be plenty of space for a long while, though you may want to get a larger enclosure later. All you really need for them is a water bowl, a thermometer, a basking light, and a mouse every few weeks, and possibly an undertank pad or infrared lamp if you live somewhere where the temperature drops at night.
