There are LOTS of snakes that fit the 4 to 6 foot range that are generally very calm and easy to take care of.

A few right off the bat are almost any north american ratsnake, russian ratsnakes, brooks kingsnakes, black milksnakes, grey banded kingsnakes...

It's important to understand that individual snakes vary in temperment. There are vicious corns and docile green tree pythons. It might not be a bad idea to pick up an adult snake that is already known to be very calm.
