This request reminds me of an interesting question...Has any one else ever noticed that ophiophagous snakes from within Night Snake range tend not to eat night snakes? I have seen this in captive Micrurus, L. getula (and a friend - who shall remain unnamed - had the same trouble with a captive TX Indigo).

I have seen other snakes from outside of Night Snake range consume them, but even the most snake loving of kingsnakes seem to reject them.
