ETBs and GTPs are attractive, no doubt about that...but they are also fairly expensive, and not very forgiving of husbandry errors. In other words, they really aren't a good choice for somebody's first snake - of course, the same can be said for most of the "exotic" species because they tend to have specialized care requirements.
Since you seem to be set against "common" snakes; what is it you like about GTPs and ETBs? The color? The way they coil on a perch? Their size? The way a nicely decorated cage looks?
It would be easier to recommend something if you offered some basic guidelines, such as size limits, price range, etc; but I'll toss out the suggestion of carpet pythons to give you something to consider.
