I have read this description many times but am still not sure what is the plan. So please forgive me if I've misunderstood.



First off, I would not have lampropeltis and pituophis that close together. Once I accidentally put one of my Pacific gopher snakes in a feeding container that was not hers, but belonged to a mountain king, and she would not eat until I discovered my error and put her in her own feeding container. The smell of the king seemed to bother her. And I would for sure not allow the two species to be in actual physical contact. They have a very sensitive olfactory capability and can smell each other from across a rooom, not to mention in adjoining cages.



Secondly, the pits would need bigger cages. What I would do is just choose the kings, and put one male and maybe two females in your setup. Build another set up for the pits but with bigger cages, and with the same one male to two females max.
