Corn Snakes! I have two and they are the best for pets and beginners!
Corn snakes are mostly pets but there are some in the wild, mainly in the wild they are good for keeping mice population down

a few common pet snakes are corn snakes, milk snakes and pythons
corn snakes are the most common species of snakes kept as pets. they are nonvenomous too.
Corn snakes make excellent class pets provided the students are either responsible enough to handle and care for it properly, or are always supervised by an adult. Young students should not be allowed to hold any snakes but should be permitted to touch it gently while an adult holds it securely. Corn snakes are very docile and attractive snakes and require very simple set ups that make them great starter snakes as well as educational snakes.
Ball Pythons make very good pets. Make sure you get a captive bred snake-as the wild ones are a handful! I have had my Ball Python for over 5 yrs-and he is a wonderful pet. H'es clean,freindly,and is very used to being handled by people!
No. They are illegal to be kept in US.
Corn snakes are good for pets because they are small and really have no capability of eating other snake usually. They usually eat insects and small mammals like mice and crickets.
Between the two of them a snake would probably make a better pet as they tend to be lower maintenance and are easier to get. As snakes go corn snakes and king snakes are usually the best pets.

Hognose snakes are a pretty docile species. Also - they don't grow very big (about 18 inches !)
