I have hundreds of Florida king adults and probably a thousand all togther of Florida kings that are kept together . The eastern getula are more of a snake eater than mtn kings. So if I can do it with them imagine how easy it is for mtn kings.



When i kept Mtn Kings it was always in large groups of 4-5. Never had a problem of one eating another. Used to do this in the 70's with w/c as well and never had a problem.



There are sevaral things you must do to insure that. Even humans cannibalize if they are hungry.So my definition of a starving snake might be different from someone elses who feed their ona shedule of one mouse per week or something like that.



The bonding process also is what keeps them from eating each other. When they get to know each other there is no chance they will see each other as prey.It is when you introduce and unkown snake (like during breeding season)into anothers cage is when cannibalism usually happens. because they have not bonded you never know what they may do.



There are lots of long threads on this subject over the past 3 years. Lots of additional info if you can find the key words in the search function.
