Hey all, first time poster here. Looking to get my first snake, but had a question on what would work best living in the same house as a blue tongue skink.

I really like kingsnakes in that they seem easy, not too massive, and generally cool. However, I'm concerned about their voracious eating nature, especially as it pertains to other lizards.

I'm not foolish enough to think that I could have a kingsnake (even a small one like a Mexican Black) near my BTS. But will kingsnakes go aggro even if I handle my BTS, wash my hands, and then go handle the snake?
The idea that it's always gonna nip at me because it can detect lizard scent is deterring.

If the above is the cas,e what other types of snakes would be more ideal for hanging out with the lizard, or at the very least not being so aggro?

I've seen balls in videos that do well near BTS, but Balls are a bit too massive (girthy) for my taste.
Any thoughts or feedback is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
