I'm sure others will give you a better list than me but things to consider are:

Taiwanese Beauty Snakes (and other elaphe taeniura spp) These get to around nine feet at their biggest and are also pretty powerful.

Elaphe Carinata - usually 6 -8 but have heard of specimens at ten feet and powerful snakes.

Spilotes Pullatus - These regularly get to nine feet and beyond.

Ptyas - again regularly over ten feet.

Then you have bullsnakes which get to 6-7 feet and very solid or indigo snakes which can get up to eight feet and very heavily built.

Hope this helps...
