Small snakes that like to climb

Hello all,

I am new here. I have acquired a large terrarrium from my company of an unusual size/shape.

Specifically it is a collumn shaped wire-mesh terrarrium that can be adjusted to be anything from 1.5 feet to 8 feet tall by adding pieces. It's about 1.5 feet wide.

At first I was planning on using it just as 1.5 feet tall setup with a small juvenile corn snake or some other fairly common. Then I thought about trying to find a small snake that would stay comfortable in such a cage.

However, then I thought about really using the height. Perhaps trying to find a smaller snake that would enjoy having a large vertical space to climb in and not mind only having a small width.

Current plan (if I can find a snake that would be HEALTHY and HAPPY in such an environment:

4-6 feet Tall. Either have a live growing tree in the center with many branches or provide a similar fake space. This would give plenty of climbing space. Attach small ledges to the sides (rock) with lights for basking, two, one near the bottom and the other about halfway up. The top is a dome and I was thinking of either making this a feeding zone (there's a covered slot where food could be dropped in) or put another heat lamp up there and partially paint it to look like an enclosed rock cave.

Any suggestions on snakes that might fit that bill? Not going to start building until I know I can find a snake that it would be the correct habitat for.
