Check out "Common Kingsnakes" by David Perlowin (Bow Tie Press). I have not read this particular book but the Advanced Vivarium book series is usually a great investment for beginners as they are inexpensive.

The second photo looks like a decent set up. It looks like you have a hide (half round log), climbing branches and aspen shavings for substrate. I assume the top/lid can be secured properly otherwise it would have escaped by now. The book referenced above will go into more detail in regards to caging.

Good luck and nice looking snakes.
