Well, all snake's are individuals, so it is virtually impossible to say how any one particular Cal. king is going to be. They are generally pretty easy-going with similar basic care as corns and milks. They are generall extemely voracious feeders too. If they aren't fed pretty well, some can be a bit "chewy" on the hands and fingers, so they should be fed well, but NOT overly so. When snakes are very young and small, they tend to put all their food calories towards growing, which is all well and good. Now when they start reaching mature adulthood, they can sometimes become obese if their food intake is not monitored well.
I would strongly suggest that you get an inexpensive book or two on common kingsnakes too. This will help you IMMENSELY with understanding them. You simply cannot learn about them simply by asking a few questions on forums as I see so often. Sure certain questions being answered by other people's experience can be very useful at times, but to get a good FULL understanding of what makes them "tick", you really benefit tremendously from reading some good inexpensive books regarding them. The books also can be referred to whenever you want to, and you can EASILY prevent problems from happening well before they ever start, which is another thing I constantly see. Problems are much easier to avoid than to deal with once they occur, it's really as simple as that.
Good luck!
