Yeah I never fed into your bonding thesis before and still dont, I'm not jumping on you I just dont believe kingsnakes are ever truly bonded and accidents can always happen where one snake kills the other.. when that happens would you say you guess their bond wasnt so strong? I kept a pair of 4 year old kings together all last season, they were clutchmates that were only together at hatching. They were of similar size and both ate as much as you fed them, so much so they were obese in 2012 so I couldnt breed them until 2013. They were together for the whole season other than when the egg laying box was introduced, then the male was right back in there. Feeding time was rarely supervised I simply left 6-8 weanlings in the enclosure and onto the next. Never had a problem but always knew it was a possibility. Why did these snakes not kill each other, did they bond?
