If you like tricolors, I second Dan's suggestion of the mexican milk(annulata). They are calm, don't develop black tipping, and only get about 30in. long. You can have your cake and eat it too.
I am partial though, as I have two mexican milks. I think the pure black milks look awesome though too, and some would argue a bigger snake is more impressive. It's also hard to beat the vivid colors of a hypo honduran. If you want a crisp, bright tricolor who keeps his original colors as an adult, is calm, and stays on the smaller side, then a mexican milk is hard to beat. On the down side, they are also hard to find. You won't see 100 ads in the classifieds like you do with hondurans.
