What are best pet snakes?

If I was recommending one pet snake to someone, aside from corn snakes I think it would be difficult to go wrong with a woma python. They're a good size without being too big and they're not stocky snakes so their length isn't imposing, they eat without any problems whatsoever, they're beautiful to look at, and they're incredibly docile and placid.

Sometimes when I take the womas out, I feel like I'm carrying about a big wet noodle, rather than a wriggly snake - they just calmly and happily accept life as it comes. I'm sure, like any species, there will be exceptions to the rule, but as a *pet* python in my mind they're unbeatable.



This is my boy, Bandicoot - he says "buy a woma, you won't regret it" :p
 
For minimal issues and costs- corn's the way to go mostly.
The alternatives you came up with are all neat, but some are a deal more expansive, demanding on the husbandry said- and a novice may end up missing the initial, and critical, stages of a complication occurring.
With an ETB for instance, if you catch something only after the symptoms are visible, most odds are that it won't pull through-those are rather delicate snakes.

Hogg Isle Boas are -awesome-. I have a pair of Sunsets, which have a lot of Hogg isle blood in them, but they are the progeny of Hogg Isle Boas crossed with Super Salmon so... they aren't pure locality. They do have a very intense orange cast to them, which is neat.
Anyhoo what I love about the Hogg Isle Boas aside from their comfy size is that their color intensifies during the night... they kind of change colors from morning to night.
