Emerald Tree Boa. They're not always active, but they're always perched and visible. They're docile despite their mean look. Cooler than a GTP imo.

Re: Active display reptile?
If you’re thinking small arboreal, an Amazon tree boa is one to think about!

Australian Spotted python! Mine often prefers to snooze on her driftwood under a (dimmed, black) warming light. While technically a day sleeper, it's hard to tell- any
motion around her cage, she is ready to investigate. Easy to feed (prefers!) f/t small mice, & not nippy with handling, at least mine isn't (some others may disagree but
that's my experience)...she's a nice small snake to watch, but also good to handle...only one accidental nip in 11 years & my fault. My adult is smaller than a large/older
corn snake would be, so not a tiny pet, but about the size of an average adult corn...30 gal. tank can work fine & yes, arboreal. Mine rarely uses her hides on floor level-
prefers branches/ladders/ & her humid hide (over UTH side). She uses cool hide only when in shed.

ETB would be too large for the 'small species' requirement IMO A GTP might work. Both species generally just stay perched, so they look nice but they don't tend to move a lot during the day in my experience.
Amazon Tree Boas are awesome, I keep several, but as far as a display - they are really only active at night and spend most of the day curled up on a perch (hidden if possible) or in a hide (photos of mine here: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...2-Wall-of-ATBs )
A crestie would probably be a good choice, they are small, easy to care for and well, adorable. They will also hang out on the walls or on sticks/leaves and such instead of other active cute species such as leopard geckos that stay on the ground).
Good luck with whatever you choose!

A male carpet python is another option as they don't get too big. Mine only hides when in shed, the rest of the time he's out and perching or hunting.

I looooove carpet pythons. They are so incredibly gorgeous. How big is your male and what size enclosure?

I also recommend Trans Pecos* rat snakes for personality...nocturnal, yes, but like the spotted pythons, very nosy & adaptable. Very gentle pets, easy to feed (f/t mice) & adults about 4'. I'd recommend a 40 gal. glass tank (ultimately for adults), if that's not too big for you-? They love branches too, often sleep in their baskets (attached to branches). (*Bogertophis subocularis, get it?)

I'd vote male carpet as well. An Irian Jaya or a Darwin will stay pretty small.
