That theory always is preceded with advice of feeding the animals as much as they will eat. In doing so, stuffing the animals with food may create the illusion that there is bonding going on, when in reality, they are just full and not acting upon their instinct to cannibalize

Absolutely wrong.


It is amazing to me after all these years and info shared here about snakes bonding that you can still twist the results.

First off the whole feeding them as much as they will eat is and has nothing to do with bonding. I have often said we should let breeders(especially females) to eat as much as they want to produce follicles and be successful in producing more than one clutch per year. I often get 3 clutches.

I have been doing the bonding thing for over decades with Florida kings and not one case of cannibalism. Had one snake try to eat itself,LOL! But that was rare.
