As humans, it is a challenge putting ourselves into a snake's world. We have little in common, snakes and humans. We are upright animals with large brains and an almost nonexistant sense of smell. We have an aversion to crawling horizontally. Snakes are the opposite; small brains, incredible sense of smell and touch, crappy eyesight.

Alright, so snake-eating species like kings or indigos have a strong selection to bond as a means of survival? To keep from getting eaten by their brothers, etc.? So what happens when individuals from two unrelated populations of kings meet? The cannibalism kicks in?
