I have had clutches of brooks eat each other and they are from the same clutch



Don,

I know you have not read all the posts to date. But i would never reccomend putting neonates together as they do eat each other. But when they get up to mouse size 9say 20" I start the bonding process.



Little floridana are just to nervous and strike and every movement putting them into the feeding mode.



I also think that since the early days and the word "KING"snake. people assume that they are cannibals. But there is nothing further from the truth. I keep all of mine in groups and they feed and share the food. Most of the time food is left over and it is removed. None overeat and regurge.



I do this on a daily basis for years. Others that have done the bonding process and keep them together year round are much happeier and it takes the guess work out of when a female is ovulating. This you are not taking chances on missing that "window' of fertilization.



I have welcomed people on this forum to come over and see my collection and report back here what they saw (feeding and all) but so far none of the naysayers have taken me up on it.



Another thing to consider with cannibalsim. It can happen with ANy starving snake. I hear cornsakes eat each other. Even humans when pused to that point.



So well fed kings and them living coimmunally (peacfully) and sharing thawed out frozen rodents is a daily, monthly year round thing here. It has been going on for years and anyone that does not beleive, or are afraid to try it temselves, should just visit and check it out themselves. i can show them literally thousands of the floridana together and sharing food.



I would hope that settles it because it seems that most just don't belive what i am saying is true..(which is ludicrous and funny to me at the same time). There is no refuting what I am doing and how comnunal these kings are. I have the proof and been living it daily for years.
