I actually have a pair of kings together right now. I'm not ever going to put all of my stuff into pairs or groups, but you and Rainer have convinced me that opening my mind, trying something new (to me), and experimenting is a good thing even if 99% of folks say it's a no-no.



so far so good. I left an entire clutch together for a while and noticed the same 2 bundled up together quite frequently... sometimes just those 2, sometimes with more included. So I figured they had something going on.



now that they are in a cage together they are curled up together what seems like about 75% of the time. They are in a large cage compared to what most hatchling kings get, have multiple hides, and I watch during feeding time... hopefully no issues arise.



also, this will sound crazy, but one didn't eat the first 2 meals offered and when the 3rd meal was offered, the non-feeder seemed to watch the feeder eat... crawled over to the other side of the cage and just hung out a few inches away. then 5 min later was back at it's pinky chowing down. I doubt their brains are capable of learning something by watching, but that's sure what it looked like.
