Ok...do you kids mind if I throw another one into the mix? What do you think about Lampropeltis triangulum triangulum? Are they good beginner snakes?
Eastern Milks can be picky eaters, but if you get captive bred from a reputable breeder, you shouldn't have any problems. Being in the Kingsnake genus, they are just as easy to care for as corns, but lack some of the aggressive feeding responses of other kingsnakes in the genus, like Floridas(my personal faves...but not a beginner snake, IMO) and Calis(also not a great introduction...unless you enjoy being tasted occasionally).

And y'all need to back of the cornsnakes. It ain't their fault that too many people without a clue breed them. And it ain't their fault that the potential for morphs is simply staggering...second to none, in fact. With more single recessive morphs, it's no small wonder everyone and their brother wants to breed the next new combination...heck, I breed corns, and I don't breed normals...I breed morphs. I also HIGHLY recommend them as the best beginner snake, bar none. For reasons that have probably been mentioned a dozen times in this topic(I haven't actually read the whole thing...I just noticed how long it was getting and decided to check it out...), they are simply the easiest snakes to learn with...they forgive you for your mistakes, and they are relatively inexpensive...
