Yeah kings are (most of the time) very enthusiastic eaters, mine will not eat frozen thawed, my female only eats fresh killed or live and my male out grew mice and will ONLY eat live small rats. He would squeeze the mice so hard they would litterally pop. As for your previous post, I think short but frequent handleing sessions are your best bet. Are you feeding him in his enclosure? That can easily contribute to cage aggressiveness.
