I have no probles with pairs....just keep them well fed, and seperate during feeding....but it boils down to the snakes....no guarantees on anything.

The only time I have ever had a problem is with a gravid King, having just shed, attempting to eat her mate because she had not taken food in ten days...after she ate three mice, she returned to normal....so there is an element of risk.

kings more likely to cause problems than milks

:milksnakes, tend to eat each other, this behaivor is called ophiophagy. even if they are close in size they may eat each other. I wouldn't try it if I were you
