it seemed it was fatal if I found the end of the snake hanging out of the other baby's mouth(as in Clint's photo). When a baby managed to get the whole thing down, he sometimes regurged, but at least survived.



As an interesting sidenote, there were only 2 (possibly 3) times in thousands of babies that I can remember a baby eating another one WITHOUT any hint of food being around. In all cases, they were bloodreds. None of those siblings had ever fed (which is why they were still together), yet one decided to dine on another. But I never saw that in non-bloods, except during the excitement of feeding on pinks. Now I pretty much separate them before the first shed to avoid any of those problems.
