What makes a better pet... A King or A Milk?
and what is the difference?
do they have good temperment when handled?
is breeding the same as ball pythons?... by this i mean with the heterozygous and homozygous...

It really depends on who you ask. Some people have had great experiences with Kings, other with Milks. Other like myself have had mixed experience with both, lol. California Kings are probably the most common and often suggested pet Lampropeltis. They come in a wide variety of color phases and are generally calm. Most Lamps will be squirmy, nervous, bitey and/or musky as babies, but generally calm down with age and handling.
As far as differences go, both Kings & Milks are in the same genus. Anatomically theres not much difference, with the exception that most milks are tri-colored and most Kingsnakes are not. Some sub-species get alrger than others, etc.

i like kings and milks cause of their bright colors but it is important that they have good temperment and dont bite

Well, some babies can be bitey, as with alot of snakes. Bu they generally calm down with handling.
