I definitely will not argue with you like everyone else does in this forum, but I have not seen anyone so adamant in their opinions.
The problem with it is that, IN THE WILD, snakes of many types are seen cannibalizing. Species eating the same species.
This is a risk that will always be there. Not to mention that in the wild, do you really believe that these animals are together all year?? They are together during the spring and with some species during brumation, but during the rest of the year, when they utilize other parts of their habitat that are above ground or in other rodent tunnels that they invade or what not, they will be on their own at some point.
Most people feed their animals WAY to much these days since everyone tells them that snakes eat every week. This makes it less likely for cannibalism to. Not to mention the long term risks of a snake with all these fat deposits and extra weight (egg binding in females, infertility in males, and overall shorter life from organ failure)
If you are doing it and it works then fine, but its not natural by any means, no matter how you look at it.
