Personally, I would go with Spilotes pullatus (tiger rat snake)as there will be some remarkable specimens made available, in very limited quantities, this. They make great arboreal display animals, as they are very active and CB specimens are generally very docile. Oh, did I mention they eat like goats?
However, you may need a slightly larger enclosure for an adult specimen, as they can easily obtain 8'and longer...
Just my .02,
Jeff

Very hard to go wrong with a Spilotes. Some other choices:
Beauty Snakes. I'm especially fond of the Cave Dwellers and Blues.
Basin Emerald Tree Boas.
Gonyosoma spp., although they don't always do well in large terraria.
Madagascar Tree Boa, although the ones I've seen have been more terrestrial.
Some of the Indo-Australian Pythons climb quite a bit if provided branches and vertical hot spots. Many choices here.
Mangrove Snaks, if you don't mind mildly venomous.
I'm sure there are others as well that I just can't think of right now.
