I don't post much on this forum much, but I wanted to say something on this subject. I have found accidental cannibalism is common when housing two snakes of the same species together. This often occurs around feeding time even if the animals are seperated during the feeding. I have even seen incidents occur after the snakes were seperated for several hours after a meal. I have found this to be the case with many species including many of the Australian pythons. Thats why I don't keep animals together, regardless of whether they are the same species.
