The OP wants a snake with presence, some size, maybe even some girth..... for an arboreal snake that is. I don't think a Rat snake is going to scratch his itch. It wouldn't for me.
If it was me and since I can't afford my Amazon Basin I would be going for a that big Carpet. I never really wanted one but after lucking into the one I have he's certainly made me a fan.
My Carpet, ETB, and GTP are some of my best behaved snakes. The Carpet and ETB have never tagged me. Haven't even tried other than making launches at feeding time... But I don't take that personal. It's not me they want.

Well, from reading the OP's posted "want list" I don't see how you concluded that, except that we all have our personal preferences. Anyway, I don't try to "read minds" & I don't care what he chooses- I just hope he's happy with it.

Re: Arboreal species for a 4x2x2 enclosure
Because it's what he said.
We all have a wish list but right now he's looking for something different that may be a new desire. I've had those weird itches pop up that I wasn't really planning on but fell hard into.
I'm still looking for a Giant Madagascar Hoggy. The Blonde I stumbled across is cool and made that want even greater. Just haven't seen one.

An Arboreal species which can be kept in a 4' x 2' x2' cage. Well - what about a Children's Python or a Spotted Python - which stay between 3-5 feet as adults. Or maybe one of the dwarf localities of the Central American Boa (Boa imperator) like the Crawl Caye, Sonoran, or Tamaulipas Cloud Forest, which also stay fairly small 4-5 feet.
Snakes
1.0 Pure Hog Island Boas (Boa imperator) - "Boss"
0.1 Tamaulipas Cloud Forest Boa (Boa imperator) - "Elena"
0.1 Ivory/Super YB Ball Python (Python regius) - "Ivory"
1.1 Cape York Spotted Python (Antaresia maculosa) - "Irwin & Iris"
0.1 Dumeril's Boa (Acrantophis dumerili) - "Lysse"
1.0 75% Super Dwarf Retic (Malayopython reticulatus) - "Kal"

Re: Arboreal species for a 4x2x2 enclosure
I agree with KMG. A big coastal or jungle carpet python would be an excellent choice.

Isn't that going to out-grow the enclosure size? (the OP specified 4'x2'x2')

Re: Arboreal species for a 4x2x2 enclosure
How about a Beauty Rat snake? I’ve never kept one but know they are semi- arboreal. They look amazing as well.
Stay in peace and not pieces.

Another great choice (I've kept them before) but they get very large & WILL out-grow the size enclosure being asked about.

Re: Arboreal species for a 4x2x2 enclosure
If you go with Bredli I highly recommend a male for this size enclosure. Females can get quite large, I house my females in 8'x2'x2'. Both my male and female are very docile and an absolute joy to work with
