Probably a California king of some sort. Calis are great 
Have a look on the common king snake care sheet on the main page for more info. Dead easy to look after |

I think the best thing about Royals is that you can trust them 100%. If a child or one of my mates who was a bit scared of snakes came to my house I would'nt think twice about letting them hold Evra. She moves slow and is never aggressive.
Same can't be said for Kings (well Tempo's alright) but with Hypanthia and Nagini I usually have to check their moods before even I pick them up, nevermind anyone else who isn't confident. |

I agree with everybody regarding the Cali Kingsnake Identification and regarding Royal Python. Royal Python are very dull in my eyes, Not very active, Don't do much when handling, Can be fiddly feeders.
Do the Shops have any Milksnakes? Very are in the same Genus. Or if you want to stick to Kingsnakes, What about Mountain Kingsnakes. Im biest, I just love the Tri-Colors. This link may help you decide.
