Our families first snake was a burm, that was alright. But I'd reccomend a corn, king, royal python, common boa (if your not freaked by the size) house snakes, rainbow boas if you research enough, green tree snakes, garters, or slowworms (I know not a snake LOL).
The key is don't limit yourself 'cause of what people say. But know your limits. If you wanted a blood python say, then go for it, but research LOTS, LOTS and even more LOL.
Look around, see what YOU actually want, not whats only reccomended. When you've seen something you want (well a few) come ask us what we think, and TBH, their aint much outta your reach just now that you can't take care for if your commited to learning enough. Large Boids? Nah, Venomous? Deffo Nah-Nah and I would stay away from amazon tree boas, racers, and green tree pythons and emerald tree boas. LOL And central american boas.
Don't limit yourself. But DO rule out things you definately can't start with and those you don't want. No point getting a corn snake, if you know later down the line you want a blood python. You wont like the corn much, trust me, so start with the blood. Just dedicate yourself.
Mad props on this post!! Although green snakes and maybe slow worms are harder because of their weird food
