Wich one makes a better pet?

I am looking forward to buying a ball python as my first pet snake but i am finding it difficult to convince my mom in letting me get one. (she just does not like snakes) I have had many pets before and am a responsible 17 year old. Can anyone please give me a list on why my mother should let me buy this snake (I allready researched how to take care of it) all i need is a list of good facts about this snake. Your answers are greatly appreciated. Thank You

i have a ball python and its a little bigger tha 2 foot i feed it every friday what other day(s) should i feed it on by tthe way i feed it feeder mice

I want to learn to be a programmer and develop games someday. But unlike most hobbies- I can t seem to find a friend or mentor in this area. It seems like nobody wants to learn and make software together... unless their already experts and they don t have time for novices like myself.

I prefer C#- but willing to use java- python c or c++.

It s my understanding they re quite docile and make good pets in addition to being one of the smallest types of python.

How in comparison to- let s say a corn snake-- are they for pets?
