Ahaetulla (asian vine snakes) are real neat but are not real common in the pet trade, almost all of them are imports, in pathetic shape, and need a lot of work to start off with. Only eating lizards can get very expensive, or tiring if you're having to catch them all the time. Not to mention, being venomous. Rear-fanged, but still something to seriously consider. They sell for pretty cheap, because they have a tendancy to drop like flies. If you're paying more than 50 for one, thats way too much.
Others you might want to look into are Elaphe oxycephala - the red tailed green rat snake. Arboreal and feisty, but quite cool. Maybe Senticolis triaspis (another species of green rat snake), but most of those are not as strikingly bright green. If the vine snake tickles your fancy, maybe Oxybelis fulgidus (south american green vine snake) would be an option as well... might have a better chance of finding one of those in decent shape than an animal hauled all the way across the Pacific.
