they are called king snakes because of their tendency to consume other snakes. wouldnt end happily as previously implied

like you found out with google some will no doubt say you can but i think something bad will happen given enoff time i mean snakes are on the menu with kings so it only has to get a bit hungray one day and see its viv mate as a tasty meal

Hi all,

You cannot beat a good quality book on the subject, but they cost.

My last four books cost me over £250 but money well spent by people who know what they are talking about.

Kings like to nibble on other snakes even rattlers.

Yeah!...Kings are Ophiophagus (meaning they feed on other snakes), including other Kingsnakes, so unless you pair them for breeding attempts..it"s not a good idea!

Why not try keeping them in two rubs??...cheaper than two vivs, i would think!!
