I would think a Black Milksnake should be on your list. As adults they a 5-6 foot slender glossy black snakes. They are much calmer than other milks and are a pleasure to handle. They are also easier to keep because they readily tolerate temperatures in the 60s and still eat well. They don't require any extra heat source.

Here's one of my 5.5 footers



Furthermore, they are actually black whereas Mexican Black Kings are brown. Here's a side by side of the two species together. The MBK is on top, the Black Milk is the bottom snake.
