MBKs are great feeders. They are always hungry, and eat anything they can overpower. They do well exclusively on a rodent diet, and are the most docile common Kingsnake species in my experience. Babies musk and occasionally strike, but are better behaved than Cal Kings. You should ensure the MBK is housed properly in an escape proof enclosure. I had a baby escape. They are great escape artists. If there’s a gap, they will find it. If it does escape, it won’t do much to an adult ball python. Smaller snakes and lizards may be prey if it finds a way into their enclosure. This isn’t something to worry about. I have corn snakes in the same room as kingsnakes. Keep the MBK in an escape proof enclosure.
