As in they don't enjoy it, and will let you know with their nice big teeth. I'm not a fan of, or familiar colubrids, but I think that's who you need to come chime in here, is the colubrid people. They may be what you are looking for.
Yup. Corn snakes are excellent display snakes. They can be a bit tricky if you get a baby, since the babies can be a little twitchy and are escape artists until they get older. That being said, my first snake was a sunglow corn that only bit me three times in the several years I owned him. The first time he was a baby and had just been carried around a reptile show all day, the second was after his six week escape episode, and I almost stepped on him when I found him. The third time he bit me was after I had just handled his food, so it was my fault. Corn snakes come in a wide variety of colors, stay slim and small as adults and are very easy to care for. I used to hang out with my friends (in front of my apartment in the spring) with him wrapped around my hand. He tolerated being taken out and handled by strangers very well.
