I was going to suggest an Irian Jaya or Jungle, depending on your "max size limit". I have 2 IJ's and they are really great snakes both for handling and for display. My male is a bit over 2 years old and is around 4 1/2 feet, he probably won't get much bigger and my female is just over a year and probably around 3 1/2 feet or so-ish, she could get up to around 5 1/2 feet I'm guessing. They are both great to handle now (the female was a bit of a nipper but has calmed down), not as busy as a Corn snake but they don't just sit still either...they like to explore when they are out. They spend a lot of time on top of their hides and branches, the male really only uses his hides after a meal and when he's in shed, otherwise he's always draped over something! They truly are a great all around snake!
