    Re: Ball python cannibalism

    Here you go!




    Please please please, especially if you keep young snakes, keep them solo.

    I Should really say, that its only a bad thing in the captive environment, when its being done through keeper error.. snakes eating snakes that is.. technically, snakes who eat OTHER SPECIES of snakes are of practicing ophiophagy, and not cannibalism.

    Many snakes in the wild, from non venomous like King Snakes, to hots like the Coral Snake, have snakes in their natural diet... and many many more species take reptiles generally...and of course this is a totally natural and non-remarkable situation.. however.. keeping them captive within 4 walls controlled by a human.. is a different ball game.. whilst we keep them in captivity, we must be responsible for them!
