My experience with Cal kings was many years ago, and there are other more qualified people for this. But since no one else responded I'll give it a go.
Cal kings just seem to be very hungry. Mine never seemed to strike defensively after they were out of the hatchling phase. But they would pretty consistently see if they could eat my fingers, wrists, etc. Especially if I had been handling the other snakes (even other Cal kings). I took to using hand sanitizer between each animal to add some smell to cover the odor of the other snakes.
If you want a kingsnake that doesn't bite, try greeri or leonis. They almost never do. Cal kings, splendida, MX blacks will all try to take a bite every now and again.
