What kind of python fits this criteria?
I'm looking for a python species that could comfortably live in a 36x18x19 glass aquarium it's whole life. I would like a low humidity species. Without any extra work the humidity in the house & tank stay at about 30%. I would like a species that isn't too heavy bodied (lighter than a ball python) as I have some nice branches that I attached in the tank with aquarium sealant.
The tank currently houses my Ball Python, but I am planning on getting some Boaphiles and will transfer him over and need something to put in the tank. If there are no good species that fit my humidity requirements, I'd be willing to entertain a species that needs a higher humidity of about 55-60%. With some extra work (not much) I can get the humidity to consistently stay at this range.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Antaresia Perthensis is a very expensive choice. (Anthill python). Spotted pythons (Antaresia maculosa) could do well under those requirements as well.

Ahh, empty tank syndrome 
Children's python (Antaresia childreni) would suit your criteria as well.

Thanks guys! I like the spotted and childrens pythons. I'm having a hard time finding out what percentage of humidity they need. Any ideas?

Check out thereptileshed.com and email George Alexander. He is very knowledgable about spotteds.

Children's pythons, as they dont grow as long as a spotted, spotteds MAY(but rarely) grow to 5 feet, but 4 foot is pretty big.

Most of the antariesia would work well. I recommend spotted or children's pythons. Anthills are great but they run about $1000 CND.
