I'd kind of like to have a Dasypeltis some day....but I have to admit, they aren't much to look at....

I don't know if I can think of 10 non rodent eating snakes that make good pets...
Rough Greens
Garters (though they *can* eat rodents)
Oxybelis
Maybe hook-nose snakes? And possible ringnecks? I don't know how calm they are when handled but I've known a handful of people that kept them.
