The number one reply to my same question.... STRESS
I guess stress can cause your snake to go off feeding. And in general not be happy!

1. Cannablism
2. Stress, one snake will dominate the other.
3. If you have one sick snake, you will have 2 sick snakes.
4. If one is male and one is female there is a chance they would mate, if they weren't the proper age and weight the female could die as a result.

Snakes are solitary animals. They live alone except to breed. Also, kingsnakes can be canibalistic.

There are more consequences then rewards associated with keeping two snakes in the same enclosure. Read that thread in the breeding section called "Without a clue about snake eggs". She housed her two "females" together, and got a pile of eggs.

you know this subject was brought up on another forum except for it was a monitor forum where everybody that had snakes kept them in huge display enclosures with multiple snakes per cage. i was trying to explain that they were not supposed to keep them together and one of them brought up an interesting point. has anyone ever seen that movie or seen the link on the internet? i think it was ball pythons in the wild? well they brought up how a large female was found with two smaller males in a burrow but she had already laid her eggs. does anyone know why 3 snakes would be in the same burrow like that if the female had already laid her eggs?

im not saying by any meens to house them together, im just interested in why they were together like that.
