Never had one myself, so can't help with practical advice, so I can only suggest you do your research first. And please don't go to pets at home for one, if their care/knowledge/origin of animal standards for reptiles are anything like for small furry creatures it's not great to say the least.
We'll need pictures if you get one though
I love snakes. Couldn't have one myself, at least not one that ate rodents. I love my rats and I'd feel too bad feeding frozen mice/rats to another pet while spoiling my pet rats rotten. I accept snakes have to eat, just couldn't bring myself to.
We'll need pictures if you get one though

Mornings are still not for me.

I see how there is an implied judgment on my part. That was a grave error.

Live feeding is illegal in the UK, unless the snake in question refuses all other food.

Good enough reasons, but making it illegal?! The nanny state is so bad they're coddling snakes?

I can't prove it, but believe the reptilian brain too primitive to comprehend concepts like "love".

Why do you assume we'd get a big snake?

I don't assume it, I merely included the possibility.

a small non-poisonous snake will only kill what it can eat. humans are a bit large for them

Because adders are venomous and no-one can ever find a grass snake?
