the red tailed-green rats are mostly wild caught and have insane parasite loads. plus they are usually a high strung bitey animal, and will have problems if they don't both have high humidity and GREAT ventalation.
amazon tree boas are cool snakes, and the fact that you can get all sorts of colors is pretty awesome. they are obviously going to need high humidity, but thats pretty easy with a mister/fogger system or a well designed cage with a very large water bowl.
another possible option are mangrove snakes. they are rear fanged and mildly venoumous, but thats what hooks and leather gloves are for. I think they are a gorgeous display animal and you can find captive bred without too much trouble.
