Will a kingsnake shake its tail?
Yes. The King snake will shake it's tail at you, sorta like a rattle snake shakes it's rattler. I am pretty sure it's not like a dog wagging it's tail, saying "hey I'm happy/exited/nervous/.
It is a warning. When the snake shakes its tail it is simply telling you "I'm not in the mood for whatever you're about to do", "so either do it and risk getting bitten, or pooped on, or wait until I am in a better mood, and not shaking my tail at you!"
That's what I've got. If someone else has a better answer, so be it.

How often should you take your pet snake to the vet?
That depends. If you are wanting them to be friendly, good with other people (in my case small children at shows) and easy around other pets in the house then you can handle them as much as you like and have time to offer but minimum of an hour a day. I handle all of mine for long periods of time from the day they arrive at my house unless they are very little. Hatchlings don't need to be handled as much because of the stress. But my adults accept 4+ hours of handling and usually won't get back in their tanks until they want to be put up. It does vary from snake to snake though and some will not like long periods of being held
