True, and under certain conditions they will eat what is in front of them, as in another king.

There are also conditions when kings do not eat their own. And if you allow for those conditions, the kings coexist.

Of course there may be a crazy individual that doesn't follow the norm.

I've raised sibling Cal kings up with no incidence of cannibalism. Then I took one of those females and put her with an adult, unrelated male, and she attacked. When I put her back with her siblings, she didn't attack them.

So you see, kings do choose which other kings they attack or don't attack.

When I worked with Cal kings many years ago, the only times I saw one try and eat another was when they were unrelated and never saw one another except in Spring when I put them together. None of the siblings ate one another as long as I kept them together over Winter. And my older pairs did not eat one another either.
