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.
This makes sense to me. Some other folks here also put their mountain kings in groups. Here are the breeding pairs from my breeder:
Together, and doing fine.
I am not closed to this idea, and will consider it further. I thought if I am to do this an auspicious time would be just before brumation this coming fall. What do you think of that? Mine are summer of 08's.
I do feel like I am reinventing the wheel here. What a newbie! LOL!
