"Snakes have been known to cannibalize each other. Size doesn’t seem to be a trigger for it, either. When a snake eats another snake, usually both of them die. I’m not actually aware if any cannibal snakes have lived."

Quoted from your article...I would hotly contest this statement, as there are noted species of snakes that eat other snakes and do just fine.

Another thing I'd like to point out is that when people say snakes don't live together, they are completely generalizing. Garter snakes and rattlesnakes, notably, hibernate in large groups. However you wish to look at it, that is living together, and depending on where, it can be for the better part of a year.

Now, that being said, there is absolutely nothing beneficial to co-habitating captive snakes.
Good point, RobNJ. I should go back and clarify what exactly I mean by that. Any ideas on how to word it?

What I'm getting at is I'm not sure anybody has had a pet snake eat another pet snake, and live. I'd imagine it's extremely hard on the cannibal snakes body to regurgitate up an entire snake after consuming it.
