What many caresheets won't tell you (not the author's fault...coz there IS something new to learn almost everyday!!!) is that some snakes have cannibalistic tendencies...and we're not talking about kings and king cobras here!

A few posts down, you could see a ball python who ate his cage mate (another ball), a boa constrictor who ate his ball python cagemate and a corn snake (???) who ate another corn snake.

The risk, although it CAN be small, is just too....unpleasant to deal with.
