Time to invest in the Milksnake Manual.

Actually an interesting piece of info. Their was an article about two years ago in reptile mag written by a large scale kingsnake breeder in the states and he always keeps them together and has never had any problems.........that I found odd. Personally I will not take my chances. Just thought I would share. TB

Thats like saying I'm a cannibal, but I'll only eat people with hair like Eric Estrada.

I'm pretty sure that that was R. Applegate and that was the '02 or '03 Reptiles Annual Issue.
Not that I would keep them together either, but if anyone wants to read it, it's an interesting read...

To play Devils Advocate I have met quite a few breeders who keep their groups of Cal-Kings etc. together year round & have been quite successful doing so, even in burmation, which is very risky IMHO due to the no food factor. I think the less risks the better myself & more often than not it is done just to save cagespace etc. Heck right away my Childrens Pythons will be put togehter for most of the winter (to be a hypocrit LOL) & I've never had any problems (touch wood) with them in the past.

The San Diego zoo used to have a california kingsnake with 2 heads. It lived there for years, but eventually died when one head tried to eat the other. Now, obviously, being the same snake, it was kept "together" unavoidably for a long time with no problems. However, who knows why one head decided to eat the other all of a sudden.
Anyway, if a kingsnake is cannibalistic enough to the point where it will eat itself, it's obviously quite possible that it will eat its cagemate. I wouldn't keep snakes that strictly only eat rodents together, let alone snakes that eat other snakes.

Yup yup at the age of thrteen i had 3 of these snakes. didn't know anything about the critters then either same cage they were allright for a while.
but one day I found one was really sick, no place that could handle a snake either so all I could do was seperate them but at that point it was to late the other 2 had caught it first one died others followed
And beyond that its simply cruel to keep them together they need space or they become very stressed

The link doesn't work because we don't allow links to that site on ssnakess.com....do a search to find out why its starred out if you're curious...
