I read articles saying that Honduran milk snakes eat other snakes and should not be housed together. How accurate is this? If I had two hondurans the same size could I keep them together?
Thanks

Snakes have the ability to eat other snakes larger than themselves, so keeping same sized animals wont prevent cannibalism. And yes, one would probably eventually eat the other.

There have been many incidents of snakes that are not supposed to even eat other snakes doing just that, and if it is common knowledge that Kings and Milks can and will eat other snakes including siblings and even mates why take the chance? Many of us who breed them won't even leave a pair unattended for fear of one devouring the other. Save yourself the worry and keep them seperate. Tom Stevens

I've been looking around the web and talking to some people, and you're right, there is no point in taking the chance.
