ball python or a california king snake?

I have both snakes in question and agree that it is a preference. Balls tend to be more active in the enclosure after dark but hide most of the day. Kings are more active in the viv during the day but also are a bit more open minded about food so you can get tasted out of stupidity but seldom do they strike. Both are typically docile. Both come in an plethora of colours and patterns. So it boils down to your expectations as an owner.

"bit more open minded about food"

I love this statement.

That MAY be a bit of a understatement Terranaut.
