What type of snake is the best to keep as a pet?
The best bet IMHO is to get a corn snake and feed it mice.Corn snakes are particularly intelligent — as well as particularly beautiful. Most specimens have calm dispositions and can be handled without fear. They like the warmth of your body and won’t struggle, so long as you don’t restrain them..They can get up to four or five feet long, but you can let one crawl freely all over your body. This’ll make your friends’ toes curl!But it’s being over collected in the wild, so try to get one through a pet store.Humanely killed mice or rats can be easily obtained through these same pet stores or by ordering from a laboratory supply house. You can get them frozen by the dozen and keep them in your mother’s freezer. She’ll understand.If your snake refuses to eat the dead mice, take one by the tail in tongs and dangle it near the serpent’s head. Most snakes will strike instinctively when they get the scent and see the movement .The corn snake belongs to the colubrid family.The colubridae contains about two-thirds of all nonvenomous snakes, including king snakes, rat snakes, bull snakes, racers , garter snakes, brown snakes, ring-necked snakes, water snakes and others.For you seriously obsessed young herpetologists out there, the colubrid snakes are made up 304 genera and 1,938 species. They are all highly evolved animals and have done as well or better than human beings in populating the earth.

What type of snake is this? Is it dangerous?
It looks like a species of cat-eyed snake. My boss came up with it being possible "Leptodeira nigrofasciata" They are a species in the family colubridae, which are commonly non-venomous or rear-fanged snakes. As for your other question "Although they are not a danger to humans, these snakes are often killed because the head of a Cat-eyed Snake is wider than its body, so it can be mistaken for a deadly viper. Cat-eyed Snakes do possess mildly venomous rear fangs, but these fangs are only used on their prey." Sorry its not a definite answer... but hope it helps!
WHAT TYPE OF SNAKE WAS IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN?
it doesn't specify
What type of snakes were on Medusa's head?
I don’t think it is ever specified, the early images of her just show generic snakes. We should probably not look for zoological exactitude in ancient myths.However, if forced to speculate (purely for fun, I don’t claim the answer is definitive) I would suggest possibly a variety of horned snake known as the Saharan Horned Viper or the Desert Viper (Cerastes Cerastes).These snakes are not native to Greece but there are some stories in the myths that are suggestive.Cerastes cerastes - WikipediaFrom Medusa :: The Real Story of the Snake-Haired Gorgon“Now that Perseus had Medusa’s head in his bag, he went back to Seriphos. However, while flying over Libya, drops of Medusa’s blood fell to the ground and instantly turned into snakes; it is because of this that, to this day, Libya abounds with serpents.”From A Book of Creatures“The Cerastes, “horned”, is one of the many snakes born from the blood of Medusa in the Libyan desert. It receives a passing mention in Lucan’s catalogue of snakes. Another cerastes mentioned by Theophrastus and Pliny, in the form of a two-horned herbivorous worm, is obviously a caterpillar.No more than 2 cubits (about a meter) long, the cerastes is sandy-colored and white, with red streaks across its back. The skin is very soft and stretchable. On the head are two, four, or eight horns, described as worm-like or ram-like. The fangs are like those of a viper and are not crooked. Instead of a backbone, a cerastes has a cartilaginous spine, making it the most flexible of all snakes.”From Eight Legendary Creatures from Greek Mythology That You Might Not Know About“CerastesCerastes, which translates to “horned”, were a type of serpent in Greek legend. They were said to be totally boneless and to have a large pair of horns, similar to rams’ horns. Leonardo Da Vinci wrote about the cerastes and described them as ambush predators.The cerastes is one creature in the Greek myths that is thought to be based on a real animal. The horned viper, a snake which can have hornlike lumps over its eyes and ambushes its prey is thought to be the inspiration, though the real life cerastes can’t kill anything as big as its legendary counterpart.”So, perhaps that is the closest we will ever come to an answer.
What type of snake/morph is this is? It is very large and it was mostly white with sections of grey and specks of gold. What is this snake?
We can’t know without seeing the snake. Your description could be a lot of different snakes. Plus, what’s “very large”? What I consider a big snake may be tiny to you. Or (more likely) vise versa.
What's the friendliest type of Snake?
Most herpers prefer the term "docile" over "friendly", which indicates more of a tolerance towards handling than a preference to it. With that being said, there are a wide variety of snakes in the trade now that could be considered docile. But as a general rule - even though a SPECIES is often said to be docile, INDIVIDUALS all have very distinct personalities. Corn snakes and ball pythons are considered docile as a whole, but there are individuals out there that are nasty and will bite. This is why whenever you buy a snake, you should always ask to handle it beforehand to be sure that what you're taking home with you isn't insanely aggressive. Other species that are considered docile include rosy boas, sand boas, Childrens pythons, some kingsnakes, milksnakes, and rat snakes. If you want to purchase a snake, I suggest taking our suggestions on species and then doing TONS of research on each to decide which is best for you.
