MBKs usually are around four feet - bigger than Cal kings, smaller than easterns. Of all the types of kings I've kept, MBK's are the least likely to bite, although they do have a strong feeding response. Their care is identical to that of Cal kings, or even corn snakes for that matter. My adults typically lay clutches of 10-12 eggs.
