I have been considering housing multiple snakes as a method of keeping. I am having a problem with the concept being called bonding. Is it really the mental capacity to form a "bond" with another snake, or is it simply instinctive behavior resulting from seeking correct temps, etc? I tend to rather think the snakes are tolerating each other in a truce sort of manner in order for each to gain some sort of survival advantage such as proper temps, humidity, etc. In other words, they tolerate each other to the mutual survival gain of both. But I think the concept of forming a true bond may not be there.
