Apologies and advice seeking

Hi everybody. I started posting last week about my ball python, and was so shocked about how wrongly i had my cage set up that I reactive negatively to many veteran members and some of the staff. I finally took the great advice given to me, and am now severely allvieated about my reptiles well being. I just wanted to apologize for being so stand offish, and for my disrespect toward anybody i offnded, being that im sure they know infinitely more than me about snakes, since im just a begginer. So im sorry. But, as not to overdo it, I was just wondering if anyone could suggest an aboreal species that is fairly easily maintained and passive enough for a novice handler. I've been doing some of my own research, but id like some of your opinions. Thanks guys, and sorry again.

P.S. I was checkin out andean milksnakes, but not sure if they're aboreal or would like an upright cage.

I think that is the "Lampropeltis triangulum andesiana" I love those! they can get upwards of 5 1/2 to 6' and they are striking in apperance.

They are easy to take care of and are very good at escaping and the cage needs to be large with newspaper, aspen or moss mixed. The temperature in the cage should be between 65 and 70 degrees, with a warmer area about 75- 80 i believe degrees. Also put hiding spots on the warm and cool side. I don't think they would take to good to an upright cage though.
