Is their more that I need to know besides appropriate size, put together at right time, large cage, plenty of choices (temps & hides), and ensuring that they don't get hungry?







I have lots of young hets together now that I have not been feeding like I should and are thin and they are not eating each other for over a year. So ensuring they won't get hungry ha noting to do with it.



But feeding them as much as possible will allow for quicker growth to maturity and subsequent breeding successes.



As far as cannibalism. I really don't see (or understand) anymore how this is a problem for people. These bonded snakes just don't cannibalize and I do this over and over for decades. People come to my house and are amazed.. then they see them feeding and are even more amazed..



to me this is all old news. I don't know how people keeps snakes and don't experiment and try to understand what and how they do in nature and in captivity by trying to do everything the way they were taught. My gosh this pet shop mentality! Some people cannot break free of it and are rather strict about rules in life in general.. it seems to be a personality trait.



I understand even less the person who says bonding is a fallicy and does not work when they never tried it themselves! And then what I really do not understand is when they plaster it all over the internet everytime a post on bonding comes up.
