King snakes are common in the pet trade because of the California Kingsnake, which has a lot of variability to its pattern, is a fairly docile species, and generally easy to feed. They also don't get very big, rarely hitting 5 feet.

Why I have a passion for kingsnakes - probably nostalgia. I use to find them on a (now developed) hill in Walnut Creek weekly while my sister was taking gymnastics lessons there.

The first snake I ever kept was a gopher snake, but the first snake I ever bred was a kingsnake. That's probably why I find them so fascinating.

Plus - the fact that they snack on rattlers is kind of cool
Actually they snack on just about any reptile they find when they are hungry, but it's still kind of cool.
