I'm new to the world of snakes, so to some of you this might seem like a stupid question. I am looking into getting a Pueblan Milksnake soon and am trying to do as much research as possible. I know that Milksnakes have cannibalistic tendencies, but I have read about keeping mating pairs together permanently. So my questions are as follows:
Does anything in particular cause milksnakes to eat each other (e.g. small habitat, improper feeding ect.) or is it just in their nature?
Is it better to keep breeding pairs together permanently or should they be separated except for short periods of time during breeding season?
If a breeding couple is paired permanently do I risk one eating the other, and will they mate/lay eggs even if not put into brumation?
Thank you for your patience and your replies in advance. I look forward to hearing your responses.
