Frank I find your posts interesting and controversial. From what I've seen in the wild you can find montane kings in high concentration at certain areas. The density of them at these locations suggests that they probably encounter each other on a regular basis and indeed they are often found touching each other, both inside and outside of breeding season and of all sizes and ages.

Their potential capacity for social interaction and the level of sophistication at which it might occur is a topic of interest. How to promote that in captivity(or whether we should) and the degree to which it may enrich(or endanger!) their lives is also of interest.

I would be interested in what you have seen in the field that leads you to believe keeping kings in groups would benefit them in captivity. Fire away!
