All of my rat snakes are kept in pairs. I have never had a problem with feeding, cannibalism or breeding. I feed them in separate cages. They also have fairly large Vision cages. I suppose if the day comes that I have a problem, I may reconsider but, right now, I'm comfortable with my approach. The one big caveat, only one male per cage. Robert Applegate even keeps Kings in communal cages. I kow this isn't the poular answer but I wanted to make the point that the answer isn't an iron clad "No Way!" It can be done very successfully. More importantly, you need to be cofortable with yur decision. Why do I do it in pairs? Primarily so I can have more space for larger cages. How many zoo enclosures do you see with multiple snakes?
Alright, i've said my piece. I'll go away quietly now.
