I personally have no experience with keeping hognose snakes. I do have a Cali King and 2 corns though and I absolutely love them. My king is about 1.5 year old male who was said to be a bit nippy before I took him home, but he has never nipped at me or my girlfriend once. Prior to bringing him home, my girlfriend was basically "afraid" of snakes, but she now holds him pretty often and absolutely loves him. He is a bit of an explorer, but he also loves to get settled and just relax around my neck, around my forearm/wrist area or occasionally on my lap. My corns are only a few months old, so they are always in explore mode when out of their enclosure. I'm sure they will slow down a bit with age, as most seem to do. Despite their adventurous behavior they are absolute sweethearts. If it was up to me, my vote would go to the king.
