Love my two Kings.
Sweet, inquisitive, fun to watch them move around. Both handle well; I've been gentle from the beginning.
I like watching a long serpentine snake move. The short-tails and balls are pretty, but you just don't have the length/width ratio to get that long sinuous line.
My next will be a Corn, and I'd love one of the Pitts (Bull, Gopher,pine) some day, but for now, they look a tad intimidating.
One thing to think about - are you interested in morphs, or localities, or something else? For instance, my eyes glaze over reading the details of what went into some super motley-pastel-bananna-amel-leopard-echi-champagne, but start talking about localities, put it on a map, discuss the geographic area - development, local ecology, etc. ...then, I'm all ears. The information you find yourself gravitating to may influence your choice, so don't be in any hurry.
