I own both BP's and a kingsnake, and I'd say that they are about the same as far as difficulty goes.
Glass tanks aren't the best due to the issues with heating and maintaining humidity (especially with larger tanks) PVC Reptile cages or Tubs are the best choice.
Here is some info on Tubs and PVC cages

The only downside to tubs is that if the room the tub is kept in drops below 75 degrees you will need to heat the room so that it stays above 75 year round (and closer to 80 is preferred)
