Applause goes to Chris on this one. Nothing agaist TJ, I can't help but to thoroughly agree with Chris' statement...

"The only difference is one of probability, but both probabilities are unacceptable to me."

Here's a little rant...
Let's face it, the vast majority of people on kingsnake.com are not advanced keepers working in the zoo field with 10 yrs of experience. When we (advanced keepers with advanced knowledge) make statements on these forums we have to assume that someone else other than the original poster is reading it as well. Chances are there is going to somebody new to the hobby who can't differentiate the difference between putting two snakes together of equal size or not. Although my post may have been overkill and assuming the worst, it is nonetheless a generalization for all the other people who read these forums but don't post (typically around 75% of the visitors). I can only assume that TJ knows what he is doing, and hopefully he knows the risks involved. But I also have to assume that most people here do not know the risks. ANYWAY...
