I don't keep KSBs but as long as you've done your research I don't think they'd be too difficult for a first snake. Most snakes are pretty easy to keep once you get their basic care requirements down. Other than liking slightly warmer temps I don't see anything too complicated about them. I prefer larger snakes that are better display animals but KSBs are cute.

I understand where you’re coming from we were talking about that last night. We have a month or so before we need to figure out exactly what we want (Reptile expo next month) and that was one of our only complaints with the sandbar is that it would not be on display whereas something else like a corn snake (Which we are on the fence about only because of its commonality as well as adult size). Have you kept them before?

I haven't kept corns but I have kept kings which are pretty similar. They're really cool critters. How large of a snake are you looking for? As far as other smaller snakes I also like garters, hognose snakes, smaller ssp of carpet pythons, and children's or spotted pythons.
