Hi i finally got my mbk this morning after waiting 3 weeks Hooray :) now i have a question.. my corn snake and kingsnake are both in rubs and they are practiclly next to each other and wanted to know if this will be a problem with kings being cannabalistic and been able to smell my corn snake ? Will either if them get stressed as they can slightly see into eachothers rub ?
Left is mbk 9l rub and right is corn 12l rub
mbk is unknown sex and 2month old and corn female and is 6month old



thankyou :)

I wouldn't think it would be an issue, although I read somewhere that some kind of rattlesnake freaks out when it gets a whiff of kingsnake scent.

All my snakes are in a rack and they can probably smell each other but not see each other. I personally would put a solid divider between them like a piece of card so as not to stress your mbk out.

Also looking at your current setup that's definately a rack in the making You'll have a few more RUBS on there soon I expect
