that (at least in my 30 year experience with kings), Florida kings are less inclined to eat other snakes, especially the ones from south Florida. Most of the Florida kings I have had in the past were very reluctant to eat other snakes, except for a very few of course. Most would prefer rodents - especially those from South Florida (near lake Okeechobee and the cane fields)

But with Easterns, it's the opposite....I've never had one that turned down a snake meal, back when I used to bring home fresh (clean) road kills almost nightly to save money on feeding my collection.

Rainer's collection IS Mostly Brooksi, so I can see why he may not have much of a problem with Co-habitation, obviously less risk in my opinion....

But I'm not so sure about Easterns, as I haven't tried it yet...I will admit that I have found adult Easterns coiled together, resting, under the same cover that were SAME sex animals - once two males, another time two females....

So, who knows??? But after all this talk, I may give it a whirl!
