One long-term field herper and a pioneer of kingsnake captive breeding has seen the same thing regarding sibling snakes raised together. His observations are for kingsnakes mainly, both in captivity and in the wild.
When I was young, I kept snakes together. Like you, I read things and was told snakes are solitary. Then I went the standard approach of one snake per cage.
Now I am seeing that snakes are not completely one way or the other as a whole. They can definitely cohabitate. Of course, the cage must be large enough.
Glad to see you have an open mind on these things. I hope you continue to do so and obvserve what happens, good or bad, with your own snakes. ----- Mark
