As paul has indicated, some of the Pituophis spp. would meet your criteria, especially Northern and /or black pines. I believe Drymarchon m melanurus (Black-tail cribo) would fit the bill as well and they lack the "attitude" most Pituophis spp. tend to harbor as youngsters. Both genera are worth taking the time to investigate and I would recommend a visit to both the Pit and Dry forums before making a decision.
I have worked extensively with both genera, but I have recently reduced my Pituophis spp. collection drastically, in order to focus on the Drymarchon spp. and I will say you cannot go wrong either way, as both are wonderful to work with and regardless of which you choose, you won't want to keep just one!

Best regards,

Jeff
