Absolutely NONE.
With the exception of breeding, king snakes will eat other snakes including of thier own kind and should always be housed alone. End of story.. Here is a link just incase you want to read more or dont believe me.

And for the record ALL snakes DO NOT eat eachother. But King's can and will

Kingsnakes are called kingsnakes because they kill and eat other snakes. Even venomous snakes. If you put another snake in with your California kingsnake eventually you will end up with a very fat California kingsnake.

You might try a rubber snake, but other than that, don't do it! Kings will eat small rodents, but their food of choice is other snakes. It's a losing proposition for the other snake.

no snake should live with another snake. they are very solitary animals, and another snake can cause them too much stress and die. plus, snakes eat eachother.
