sorry I missed this one, I understand your logic, but in this case i doubt there was anything to compete for. hides were big enough for both snakes to comfortably fit, basking areas were large enough as well. the hide they spent the most of their time in was the cold hide anyway, (i checked the temps carefully both hides were in proper range) concerning eating first snake ate well and quickly, second (the larger one) was ready to strike when my son dropped a toy on the floor and spooked the snake. there are possibly more subtle issues at play here that i am not able to see. but BP's are notorious for not eating, even if they don't share a cage. time will tell, but i would think that the smaller snake would be the one at risk, more often than not.
