Well look elsewhere because I don't have it. I kept Austral-Asian pythons for years, they love the weather down here.
Now when we are talking North/South American Milksnakes and Kingsnakes I would like to know what species would be considered fine to keep if my winter cooling period consists of putting them in the garage with maybe a fan where its 78 on Tuesday drops into the low 60s for three days and then back to the 70s so you can barbecu over the weekend in January 
.
Sounds like Hondurans would do great. Florida kings too. Any snake whose range and habitat is close in latitude and elevation to where you live.
I know a guy who lives in the So Cal mtns. He can keep a zonata happy and healthy by doing just about nothing. I live only 2hrs away but at sea level. Same snake, I've got to work to keep the background temps cool enough, which is why I don't have it anymore.
Keeping a snake whose natural environmental conditions closely matches your area's conditions sure makes it easy on the keeper. Less environmental control necessary.
