No, I wouldn't: king snakes eat other snakes, & they aren't logical about what they'll try in terms of size. You might open the box & find the king snake ingesting the
bag it's in (trying to get to the other snakes)...I don't put ANYTHING past a king snake, LOL. Many other snakes recognize the smell of a king snake & instinctively
know it's a predator, therefore the presence of a king snake in the same container could be terribly stressful. (I am not sure whether or not a king snake would be
recognized as a predator by a BP or a boa, as they aren't from the same area, but I still wouldn't want to chance it.) Either way, a king snake in the mix spells
trouble. I'd for sure keep the BP & boa together, as they both enjoy similar levels of warmth too, whereas the king snake would prefer to be a little cooler. When I've
moved across country with snakes (way more than you've got) I bagged compatible snakes individually, then put a couple (not crowded or stacked) in an ice chest (or
styro-foam box) for the road...that way their temps remained stable, not over-heating from sun coming thru the windows & not chilled (assuming you're going soon?)
