>>Comparing rattle snakes to, Kingsnakes is not convincing eveidence to me. Rattle snakes congregate by the hundreds in dens, they are very different to Kingsnakes. So I don't see how it correlates?
I don't have anything against Frank's using the rattlesnake examples to argue that his kingsnake theories warrant further consideration.
But you're right, the fact that species A does it doesn't prove species B does it too. Consider birds: there are plenty that nest in isolation, and others that colony breed, that in captivity seem to require the presence of multiple others of their species before building nests and reproducing. I know kingsnakes don't require immersion in a group to breed. Do rattlesnakes? Or to Crotalus keepers often breed successfully from just a single pair of animals?
