small snakes

Are there any snakes that stay small enough to live in a 10 gallon tank it's whole life?

Western Hognoses can live in a 10 gal as most only get to be about 2.5 ft long (the longest they get is 3 ft).

I would think that sand boas (males at least) could live in a 10 g. I am a big fan of giving animals the space that they need and feel comfortable with. I think male western hoggies can as well.
