I see that somehow we missed your question when you first posted it. I primarily keep ball pythons, and I swore that I had no interest in keeping any other species of snake. Until.....along came Skittles, my albino striped cali king. I LOVE this snake (so much so that I got him 2 girlfriends a year later - more as an excuse to get more cali kings! LOL).
Skittles is very laid back, handles nicely, doesn't musk any longer, and a great tempered animal. If this snake has not been handled much, it may need you to work with it at first. But, based on my limited experience with my three - I think they're awesome snakes to have in your collection!
