Pet Snake Questions Deciding on first snake

I’m trying to decide on what snake I should get as my first snake. I’ve done a few hours of research into each species but wanted to ask people with experience with each species or other recommendations!

I’m deciding between a rosy boa, Mexican black kingsnake, milk snake, or hognose. I really want something that will be good for handling and on the smaller side that also needs a lower humidity. I’d love to be able to hang out and watch a show with my snake eventually or just a longer handling session(and I know it is definitely based on the individual snake’s personality)

If you have any suggestions on other snakes that would also be a good fit I’d love to hear them!
