Kingsnakes are naturally very active esp. during evening hours, not sure how big he is from your description but pinks (esp. Frozen/thawed) offer very little in the way of "growth building" they are like fat & water. you want to try to get him on peach fuzzies then onto older mice which are a bit more nutritious than pinkies

Your king will be more active:
-After you handle him
-When hungry
-In the evenings
-In the morning (when hungry)
-After you change his bedding
-During breeding season (if it is a male)

You can try creating a moist hide with sphagnum moss, and offering him a big enough water dish that he can submerge himself in when he feels the need... May help with your shedding concerns

Otherwise it would seem you're doing he right thing with your pet snake
