    I don't know where he was. I checked all the hides, pulled the water bowl, and raked my fingers through the carefresh, and I couldn't find him. He's the Lucy to my Charlie Brown. ARGH!

    I had a similar scare, when a month later the lost snake slithered up to my father while he was in the bathroom, lol I don't think cannibalism is as common as some would think amongst wanderings.. I keep 4 together and I have yet to see them eat each-other even with size differences.

    Re: My own stupidity!

    I think the only time it could be a problem if one snake is much smaller than the other , they are going after the same piece of food and they are very hungry. I feed mine right in their tank and the other night they got into a tug of war over the same worm luckily the worm snapped in the middle and they both got a piece. It looked like Lady and the Tramp in the same piece of spaghetti scene I now make sure I don't put the worms in one at a time but drop the the whole lot in at one time but in 2 seperate places to minimize fighting. but I might have to feed them in a feeding container soon as the bigger one is get quite big!

    I agree if you are talking about non-elegans species. But I've known elegans vagrans or terrestris attacking each other without any food in sight (like 3 days after having received their dinner), really going for the kill. These were young one's of about the same size.

    I've experienced it myself. Once with adults, where one adult vagrans attacked a larger T. sirtalis and once with a month-old young one attacking its sibling.

    It's definitely something that should be taken seriously.
