Two unrelated things. So first,



Your under a false assumption that your snake will not have some "need" for you. While kingsnakes do not show their behavior as overtly as many lizards, And lizards nothing like dogs, behaviorally, they do have some ability to "care" for you.



I man or have manned, many wild animals, from rattlesnakes, to Scaly lizards, to coachwhips, to roadrunners. To a point they actively seek me out. To a point, at times they become pests. While it starts with building a food trust. It moves well past that.



Goggle up a young lady who is one with reptiles. The reptile whisperer, and or her name Kathryn Brown. Shes does what I do, only with captives and more. So please look her up, she will open your eyes. So look her up, then come back and tell me what you think.



Also, your mention your conditions are right. That is not how you should look at it. Maybe your conditions are what you think is recommended. But please understand, its only a place to start. Try to listen to your snake, it will help you refine your husbandry. Best wishes
