Hi, I've never had a snake or any other reptile before but I've always liked them and was considering replacing my fish (which are getting to be a bit of a pain - won't stop breeding) with a snake. My current fish tank/prospective snake enclosure is (just copied and pasted from product specs. I know I won't be needing the filter

):
Dimensions 176(L)x48(W)x69.6(H)cm
- Curved Glass Aquarium (12mm Glass)
- Seamless front and side glass creates optimum viewing
- It comes complete with a biological wet/dry filter (activated carbon, ceramic rings and filter wool, pump - included)
- Also comes with lighting installed, and glass lids.
- Suitable for both fresh and salt water fish
So I'd like to know what species would be best for a beginer and can be kept in my tank?
What equipment I'd need to buy?
If I need to make any modifications to my tank?
Any
hints and tips?
I'd like to start with a hatchling.
