It does not just have to be kingsnakes. Boas, ratsnakes , pits, hot all do it.
Doug and Bob are one some sort of quest using logic that goes against your own expereince..
You know that "ANY" snake kept together in conditions they can strike at anything that moves will illicit a feeeding response. Why don't you just put a mirror in as well and scent them all with mice. Then you will say, SEE they will eat each other.
Kingsnakes are in groups here in my facility and they never eat or kill each other. They are bonded and the bonding process does not start with babies comming out of the egg and striking at movements outside of the cage that eventually causes one to latch onto the other and the death struggle begins.
Jeez it is all common sense guys. You wouldn't put your hand in a cage after you have handled mice, would you?
