on species, conditions and possibly relations between kings.
I've housed mtn kings (like pyros), thayeri, mexicana and ruthveni together without issue. Not for their whole lives, but for a whole year. I tried this with babies, yearlings and adults. Not to say it couldn't happen, but these kings did not eat their cagemates. Most were siblings. I think that may matter.
Cal kings are well known snake eaters. Yet I raised some hatchlings (siblings) together for a year without them eating one another. I also kept 2 adult males together for a few years. I take this to mean that there must be conditions when they don't eat one another. I wouldn't do this again, but it does make a point.
Putting 2 unrelated getula together would be bad news IMO.
