Actually, you have not observed bonding. You have observed snakes under the same hide. That is it. You WANT to think or speak of this bonding theory, for, IMO, attention. You have no concrete evidence that they bond, and you never will. You have observations that lead you to a hypothesis. What is available to the public is knowledge about kings, with research, field observation, etc. They are biologically wired to overtake and eat other snakes. That is why they are called kingsnakes. Nothing will change that.

Like I said, they were found under the same place because they are taking advantage of a safe haven. You have not been able to record their thoughts with the help of any kind of mental software. You have no evidence of bonding. You have your assumptions, because it makes you feel better by repeating this misinformation on an internet forum, or it makes you feel better by throwing kings together in a cage, or both. You have not had a chance to hear them tell you by voice that they bond, because they can not speak. What IS fact is that they kill and eat other snakes. They will always have the potential to do so. Me, you, and any other person can not change that. That is science. That is what they do.

And speaking of bars, I don't go to them. Played shows in many, but have no use for them other than that.
