Other than their reputation for being aggressive feeders, what quirks or antics are you referring to? How is caring for a CA king (or desert, speckled, mexican black) any more difficult than corns?
I'll concur that prices may vary, but really in most situations, we're talking about differences of $10 or less.
[mind you, I'm not talking about greybands or anything that has issues converting to a rodent diet]

I'm not saying that other snakes are not addictive. But they are not as inexpensive and trouble-free as the corn (or rat snake, I give you that).

Those two factors together (inexpensive and trouble-free), its hard to beat a corn. But again, most kingsnakes are a close second.
