Looking for trouble...

I know someone new to snakes that has 2 kings and 2 pueblans (babies) living together. Maybe I am being paranoid ('cause it's not like any of these snakes are known to eat other snakes or anything), but does anyone have any horror stories about cagemates being injured or eaten by another cagemate. I told him snakes aren't known for their pack-hunting skills, but the message got lost in the sarcasm , so maybe if I print out a few "and then two became one" stories , I might get my point across. Thanks in advance.

He's going to end up with one fat Kingsnake!!!!!!
I just hate when people get snakes and reptiles and
think they know all about them and then they get on here
and ask questions like " i wonder why my snake all the other ones". RESEARCH BEFORE YOU BUY ANYKIND OF RETILE!!!

The Kings are a couple of inches smaller. I put my money on the apricot pueblans...they have the look of the devil in their eyes!!!

I was talking to an EXPERIENCED keeper last year to find out what became of a few snakes I lent him on breeder loan. Well, these het ruthveni werent fed properly and housed communally and you can guess what happened next.....one killed another and then DIED trying to eat such a large meal!!But then again, if his snakes die he can always just go out and buy more right??J
