    Look into corns or kings: I have my king in a tub but he's very inquisitive and active and my corn is in a 20L (will probably last him for his life unless he turns out to be naturally larger than usual) and he loves to hang out on his branches and is always visible. With the large amount of morphs to choose from for each I think they could be a good bet for you.

    I always check kingsnake classifieds first, fauna classifieds has good deals too. I don't have any specific breeders to recommend, but I got my king from Heather at Subterranean Jungle and couldn't be happier with him or the transaction (she produced him too I believe): http://www.subjungle.net/index.htm

    Kathy Love literally wrote the book on corns: http://www.cornutopia.com/
    And we're both on this board, which has classifieds: http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/ (hope it's okay to share)

    I have 7 corns myself, and you definitely see more of them than a BP! They're usually quite active & inquisitive, GREAT eaters (they'll take anything, dead or alive), and come in a wide variety of colors.

    If not for your cage-size requirement, I'd also recommend a carpet python - but the smallest male JCP usually hits 6ft, and would eventually require a larger cage than 35gal. They do grow rather slowly, though, so you'd have 2-3 years to get one.
