Milksnakes

Milksnakes are great animals to have. They don't get big, don't need a complex setup, they aren't very expensive and you can get them in many different colors and morphs. They eat mice, they only need a ten gallon tank with that is a heating pad and bedding, and they are very good for handling. They also come in really really cool patterns below is a regular and some different morphs.

CornSnakes

Corn snakes are very good snakes for beginners. They stay small they aren't very cheap and you can get them in many variations. They don't need much but a basic setup. A ten gallon tank to start with a heating pad maybe some decor and a heating pad. After that you will be set. Baby corn snakes eat pinky's which are baby mice that are still pink with no hair. There you have it  below are some pictures of regular corn snakes and some different types of morphs.

Hognose

The hognose is a very good snake to own or buy. A hognose doesn't need much but a basic setup, a 20 gallon tank for when they get big and some decor. But the only disadvantage is you have to feed them toads which is hard to come by. When i had a hognose i went out and caught mine, you might be able to buy them at www.kingsnake.com.                

Leopard Gecko

Leopard Geckos make great pets they are good for beginners. They don't need much. They are tame,  you feed them mill worms which isn't very expensive, also the have a very basic setup. All they need is the following items. Ten Gallon tank, heating pad, sand, and a little decor such as a rock hide. With all of the following items you will be good to go...BUT! Leopard Gecko's aren't just your average lizard. Their tails are special so if you were to tug or pull on their tail then it would fall off. This is because if something in the wild is chasing them and it grabs on to their tail, the geckos will drop their tail so the thing chasing them will get their tail and the leopard gecko will get away. They can regrow their tails but the grow into a nub.
