- King Snakes – King snakes that are raised from birth by humans tend to also be more laid back. They also make good pets but take caution with wild-caught king snakes. They can be biters.
- Ball Pythons – These snakes are a bit on the bigger side as they age, but they are still much smaller than the larger pythons. Only get this type of snake as a gift if you are certain they want one.
