I agree with Hog Island Boa all the way !!!!
Sounds PERFECT for the requirements.
And there are quite the Beauties out there, tame, fun, easy, but still enough snake to be exciting
I'm also in the camp not to disregard all Colubrids. The Russian (Korean) Ratsnake is hands down the MOST personable (if there is such a thing) snake I have ever come across. Easy to house. Unless your house is kept very cool, you don't even have to give special heat, perhaps just a lamp with a nice basking spot. Yes, a lamp. They don't mind being out in the open, in the light. You can give them a large cage, they LOVE to climb. They are nosy. Always watching and up for adventure. Very , very cool and definitely under rated snakes. Can look a bit plain as babies but turn stunning as adults. Did I say they were FUN ? Not exactly small either, when adults. The only problem is finding one. They aren't expensive, but not many people breed them.
They are usually available in the spring. There are quite a few cool youtube videos of them...
