I have a fair few 🙂 they're not too much work actually. A couple of hours a week to spot clean/clean out and feeding as and when appropriate.  Just check water bowls daily. 

King ratsnakes are impressive animals, the colours are so bright and they are physically large too. 

The house snakes stay small, possibly up to 3 foot long. My male is quite a bit smaller than that even.

 
Black house snakes are B. fuliginosus; from what I can find on B. maculatus (there's no maculosa) it's an exceedingly rare species in captivity, and a lot of capes have very strong spotting too so unless the spots remain down the entire length of the body (and it looks like the head is narrower too) I wouldn't throw out a capensis ID.
