My first snake was a high white California king snake. He's an awesome little guy and I still have him. I'd say he's also a better pet than 90% of my ball pythons, and a better first snake than all of them. Handling doesn't throw him off of food, he's very laid back, he's one of the snakes I use to introduce non-snake owners to snakes, he's more forgiving of husbandry mistakes than pythons or boas, he can be kept in a tank rather than a rack or T8 (though he's in a rack now), etc.
