CCMattyjayde - If you can manage a large enough enclosure for an adult of the species then go with what you like - in saying that, the best two beginner snakes are Murray Darling (MD) Carpets, and Bredli...both are very hardy in captivity and are (generally) very well tempered adults.

The smaller species (Stimsons, Childrens, Spotteds) are also great - however, have a tendency to be quite snappy as juveniles but calm right down as they mature...

In saying that though, regardless of what you get, you are likely to take a few bites - thats part and parcel of it - however, be reassured in knowing that a bite from a young snake doesn't hurt in the slightest...

...in regards to purchasing, track down a reputable breeder, freight is not difficult so don't be put off by where they are located...
