Kings are thicker than corns.

There IS a size difference even in length - if you consider the fact that corn snakes' tails are usually longer than kingsnake's tails. Example: A 3 foot kingsnake can have a tail about 4 inches long wheras a 3 foot cornsnake (especially males) can have tails measuring almost 7 inches long. So, if Kingsnakes' tails were identical to cornsnakes tails, then YES, kingsnakes would average even greater lengths than they already do. This is another reason why kings are thicker, if compared to corns of the same total length!
Hope I didn't confuse anyone,

here at my house! SO therefore: KINGS RULE! (The biggest corn I EVER found/saw, out of hundreds, was a little over 5 foot.)
