Kingsnakes and pythons??

emilyni Mar 02, 2004 09:50 AM

does anyone know if it would be possible to introduce a kingsnake to a python?? i know that kingsnakes are known to be aggresive towards other snakes, but im not real sure if that only applies to rattlesnakes or what. any clues anyone??

not an option eh?? well that sucks. my ball seems really curious about my younger kingsnake. im not sure what to think of that, he's not quite a baby anymore so i dont know what he would think of playing with a python. figured it was worth asking. thanks

I breed both and would keep them separate. King Snakes tend to get more agressive when the smell of other snakes is present.
King Snakes do eat other snakes and should be houses separately.
