Default Vivarium Worthy Snakes

Hello all
I'm looking for any ideas for small snakes that do good in a vivarium. I have a 40 gallon breeder to work with - lizard eating or rodent doesnt matter.

Thanks

I would think the Rough Green Snake wouldn't tear up a viv as bad as some other snakes. Plus they look really cool too.

maybe a bromeliad boa? I think they're kinda rare, but I believe i've heard of them being kept in vivariums...

Ribbon snakes. They look like garter snakes and eat goldfish, works especially well if your viv has a water section....although on second thought perhaps they are better suited for paludariums

Aren't Brom boas Illegal??? (PLEASE correct me!!!)

IMO:
-garter/ribbon
-greensnake
-cornsnake
-Hognose (if done right, mainly thick grases and leaf litter, infact I'm thinking of doing this)
-ratsnake
-milksnake
-king snake
-red-bellied (I have a set-up ready for some)
- Dekay's brown snake
-foxsnake

Boas, pythons and anacondas WILL squish any living thing in the cage.
