Default Best display snake for less then £200?

i will have around £200 to spend soon and dont want nothing that i will keep in a tiny box for its whole life and have to handle 24/7 otherwise its aggressive?
so i wanted a gtp but find them very expensive and hard to care for so i am considering other things?

could people give me some suggestions would like the snake to be colourful and good to look at,preferably active, cheap as possible really so i can spend more on setup but doesnt really matter and the snake should hopefully be small as possible so i have room for another one in the future mabye and can people put average price after each snake posted?

so far i have come up with a atb or a rhino rat snake?
but i cant find these for sale anywhere and so dont know how much they cost to buy so a price for that?

sorry if im fussy

brazilian rainbows,...a nice orange one...more active of an evening tho in my experience

woma pythons, some beautiful moreila species also although some can get fairly large,

to be honest beauty is in the eye of the beholder and if you like it it dont matter whether they are £200 or £20,go with what you like the look of ....but ensure your aware of its requirements both now and for the future

again, hard to beat a good jungle carpet or jungle jag for a display as they are hi colour and readilly sit out in the open most of the time
