    You know this reminds me of another important point. (I should make another post pointing out all of the points I have made in this discussion that nobody has addressed. )

    Anyways, so here is the point. If keeping snakes together is so stressful and wrong... Snakes always trying to dominate one another, eat one another, generally unhappy being anywhere near one another... Then why is it that the GREAT majority of breeders keep hatchlings TOGETHER until after the first shed?

    Thankfully there are lots of people in this hobby who would and do disagree with you on this. The idea that you or anyone else has something figured out so completely that no further experimentation's or studies are needed appears to be quite ignorant. Especially when we are discussing a natural behavior that does in fact (for one reason or another) happen in the wild.
