i'd say a childreni,stimmie or maccie only small types so they don;'t require a large enclosure.but alot of ppl sat diamonds,coastals and bredlis make a good starter.a jungle is alright if u don't mind getting bitten have have talked to ppl that don't have snapy jungles tho

I started with a pair of NT Black Headed Pythons. I always recommend people start with BHP or Bredli's because in my opinion they are the best natured. Jungles are awesome but mine love trying to eat me. It's all about your preference and your budget.

GO the snakes, now would be a good time to let your partner know this is an addictive hobby, so she can get use to the idea of having more than 1 snake around.
Type of first snake really depends on the size of snake you want... If you want small go with 1 of the childrens variety, if you want large go coastal,bredli,diamond etc... jungles are known to be snappy but you might get lucky
