Cipher - new smiling cali king

I finally pulled the trigger and got a california king snake. I just love how they look, and have heard as many good stories as bad, and I guess I just decided getting chewed on once in a while was worth getting the snake I wanted. Anyway, I purchased him a month or so ago, but finally picked him up today, and he's super cute. The picture I had seen previously was not very clear, but when I got him home and took a closer look at the pictures I took of him today I noticed he has a happy smiley face on his head! I love it!!

I named him Cipher because the dots and dashes on him look like some kind of code.

The first picture is the one I got from the breeder, from which I chose this particular male. You can see why I had no idea what his head markings would be. The next two are from today.

Aww, the smiley face is very cute, and Cipher is really pretty! He seems really black and really white, more so than many CA kings.

Thanks everyone. I specifically asked for the blackest black and whitest white possible. I hope he stays that way. As far as looks go, I'm really happy with him.

Cipher is doing really well. He's a little slower moving than the corn snakes, and definitely heavier bodied. He's outgrowing them all from what they weighed at his age. He is definitely a king snake and loooooooves his food, but also is my sloooooooowest eater. First he kills the little (already dead) mousie for about 20 minutes. Then he lets go with his mouth (but still has it wrapped with his body) and spends about 10 minutes trying to find it again. Feeding him is never done in a hurry. He's only bitten me once so far, and it was a defensive bite, nothing to do with food. His food "bites" never get me because he does them in slow motion with his mouth wide open. It's very cute and funny. So far he's been a pleasure to deal with, and so active during the day, he's also the most fun to watch in his cage. He's now 2'2" and 95 grams.

Here are a couple of pictures from January...

...and a couple from April. He was hatched May 28, so he's just under a year old here.

He's so cute! Twenty-six inches, though... To someone who would like to get a king snake, would you say they are easier or harder to care for than a corn snake?
