Children's Python Killing Another Snake

[YungRasputin]

I've read reputable people that say you can cohab them, but I doesn't make sense to me. They're reptivores! Still, you don't hear a lot about Children's pythons eating snakes. Lizards, sure, but not snakes. That's probably because it's tough for them to find a fellow snake that's smaller than they are. Of course, that obviously won't stop them from trying.

the same issue exists in the arachnid hobby - every so often people will find a new species and swear up and down that they are communal and it’s safe when all known arachnids species are proven cannibals eg: the amount of big name Youtubers with M. balfouri/Socotra Island Blue Baboon communals despite again them being proven cannibals - it seems like people *want* it to be true because of the novelty and disregard any contrary experiences/objective observances
