After careful consideration I have decide not to try putting my kings together. Knowing my luck, I'd be the unfortunate keeper who finds one big fat snake in the habitat...maybe somebody got the munchies before it was time to be fed again...
It really not like skydiving. More like creating fire or the wheel for the first time...
If you undertood the ecology better you would not have a worry.
On-top of that, Mtn Kings are much less likely to cannibalize than any other kingsnakes. They are also found in groups in the wild. I have found sevral mountian kings under a single rock slab. They are very communal.
Like I explained. It is all about the introduction. And you are much more likely to cannibalize during the breeding season when you have to put an unkown male into a females cage. However it is till unlikely with Mtn Kings. But still possible since they don't KNOW each other. Also more probable you will miss that window of ovulation. Feeling for the follicles is all you can do.
Good luck with your breeding efforts!
