Ok so Unless your housing kingsnakes with other snakes or much bigger snakes with smaller snakes.. Its really rare that you could loose a snake to the other one eating the snake. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but i've been keeping snakes together for over 35 years mostly males with males and females with females and usually the same size and species. However i had an 8' red tailed boa with a 4' ball python for 10 years they did fantastic together. Yes its probably better to house them seperatly i'm just saying that unless your housing the wrong kind of snakes together and/or placing much bigger ones with much smaller ones the chances of that even happening is much slighter then some of the users commenting on make it out to be. I'm sure everybody will slam me for saying that however I've had a lot of experience with snakes in general and it is a good rule of thumb to keep them seperated but if you dont have the room and must keep them together make sure they are around the same size and species.
