LIKES being held?
Good Luck!
However, check into a cb spilotes pullatus or some kind of cribo.
They are similar to ratsnakes, but get up to 10 feet. 8 feet is common.
You must pick a calm one that you raise from a youngster, though. They eat birds and rodents, but may, someday, crap on you.Hard to train a snake not to, though, but most don't do it often.
LOTS of personality.

I don't think any snake likes being held, but carpet pythons fit most of your criteria. They can be hard to switch over to rats, though. Give em a look.
