That story was to point out the 'dangers' of housing multiple snakes together. Nowhere did I say that it was to support my words on dominance and fights.
The whole dominance/fighting thing was just the particular possible thing that could happen that I came up with. There are plenty of other things that could come up.

Learning by doing is great...but there's only so much you can do by yourself. The Theory of Gravity was discovered by one man...but proven by many. It takes different people trying something many times to show it as useful or not. When many many people observe that housing snakes separately seems safer and healthier for the owner and snakes, then it is the BETTER choice...but not the only one.

To the OP: Sorry for hijacking your thread. I still say the group sounds awesome, and you should get them if you can.
