I can't decide what I want!

I've researched the hell out of various types of snakes, and I've really narrowed it down to two: a corn snake, or a king.

I've always WANTED a king, but for a first snake, the fact that some of them have the tendency to be such voracious feeders that fingers look tempting is off-putting.

Although as someone who gets bitten by HORSES* on a regular basis, the idea of a snake bite doesn't really bother me. Sure, the snakes have pointier teeth, but horses leave bruises that last for 3 weeks if they really meant it. Ow. (*By horses I mean ponies. Ponies are jerks.)

Anyway! I want a snake with relatively basic care requirements, that preferably doesn't get longer than 6 ft, and that is tolerant of regular handling. Hence the king or corn? decision, but...

...but I can't deciiiiiiiide. I thought I had decided on a corn, but I'll take any excuse to reconsider kings, which is probably telling.
