There is evidence everywhere, you are just to focused on what you what to look at it. You just want to believe what you what. Oh God, they are kingsnakes, so they eat eachother
Did you ever go to field forums? How come they put boardlines, or ac(artificial cover) in certain places to catch kings. That is, when they are put in the right place, they find many many kingsnakes. Yet if you put them somewhere else, they don't?
How come, Bluerosy and I do not have the problems you THINK we are suppose to have? This is a very good question? We do nothing but take a little care about how to pair them up, then the animals do the rest. And as mentioned, I have been doing this for over 4 decades, WITH KINGSNAKES.(getula)
Why don't you let the dang snake be the dang snakes and lay off controlling every thing in their lifes. LET THEM BE SNAKES.
This is by far the worse part, your so egotistical, you think you know more about the snakes then the snakes do. That is funny to me. You know the common sense thing that Bluerosy just mentioned. Well, you cannot keep any social animal and raise it in solitary confinment, then once its an adult EXPECT it to be social. Not humans, not mammals, not birds, and not reptiles, heck not even insects.
Try breeding crickets, raise them in colonies and they place one from one group into the other group, well, it is all of a sudden FOOD. They eat it, same for mice.
So why not test it, you know raise some babies together. Then give them bigger boxes and watch and enjoy and have fun and LEARN
Its funny but when I moved from being a snake guy, to a monitor guy, I rocked that world with what I learned from kingsnakes. Wait, once a fella had some monitors and they did something, but the books said those monitors did not do what he saw them do. So that fella asked me, which should I believe.
This is the problem here, you have no idea what the subject is, ITS THE ANIMALS. What they do is right, and has explaination. What we write is merely a guess at what they do.
Biology has skipped over reptile behavior, it/we know so little about it. Its only recently that its starting to be undercovered.
The problem was, we as humans, expected primitive animals such as snakes to be behaviorally simple. The actual problem is, they are behaviorally and socially COMPLICATED. So science missed it for years and years.
Let me remind you, These cannibilistic snakes have exsisted for many of thousands of years, before you came along, or even man came along. They have lived and reproduced, and prospered, all without your help.
As Bluerosy mentioned, if they were truely cannibilistic, how come they do not consume all the others in their colonies. How come you can find them TOGETHER, like more then one under the same board? OVER AND OVER. How come there are HOT spots for finding them in nature? YOu know, if you go over there, you will find kingsnakes????
