    The trouble with your "ask" is that most really arboreal snakes aren't known for their "social suitability", having both sizable dentition & the inclination to use it.

    My adult Trans Pecos rat snakes are a little bigger (4.5 - 5' long) and they excel at handling (docile, not biters, like handling). And they do use their branches quite a bit & gracefully, but I wouldn't classify them as arboreal. The adults should have a wider home than just 2', even though they enjoy & use branches (& also baskets wired to them for platforms).
