Get the het pied boy!!
I can see it now, get a Normal female and then breed it to them..... Then grow the babies up and breed the 100% het male back to the 50% het females and then you might get some awesome pieds!!
And This is how it all starts congrats on you purchase (hopefully) of the one that turns to many many more...........

Re: King snake or a Ball python
I'd vote ball python, especially if it's going to be a first snake, simply because I find they're a lot more tractable than king snakes. The fact that it's going to be het. pied is also really good, because if you ever decide to get into breeding in the future it opens many doors for you.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Actually, between a kingsnake and a ball python, the kingsnake is the better starter snake for the super newbie. Kingsnakes are not as "finicky" as a ball python and a lot more forgiving of husbandry mistakes.
