>> "Any chance of cannibalism?"





There is ALWAYS a chance of cannibalism, rules do not always have to apply to all animals....period!



Although it certainly isn't like housing two Florida, or Eastern kings together, just look down a few threads to the "Gray Ratsnake question" and see what catastrophe happened there....geeesh!



Tell the dude you don't recommend it, so if he wants to still do it, it's his own stupidity if something horrible happens, especially with the major size difference on TOP of all this.......seriously, bad stuff can and DOES happen now and then, that's all there is to it, these are snakes, not goldfish.



Not only that, when something goes wrong with ONE snake, and it should become sick for whatever reason, the odds are BOTH snakes will become sick as well. There are just too many reasons NOT to do this, and no real "good" reason to do it.



It sounds like more than likely, this person is still going to go ahead and do it regardless of what anyone thinks anyway, but if he can't afford to house them separately, he shouldn't have them in the first place. ......that is my 2 cents!
