Has anybody seen this video? This is crazy! These people are keeping multiple king cobras in one cage, and they don't seem to be interested in eating each other! On top of that, these things are accepting dead mice with enthusiasm! I've never seen anything like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8OrKWEpZIg

Interesting video, I think they have done a little bait and switch with the feeding. If you look close just after the 2 minute mark, I think you will see a piece of snake with head on and I would guess that the rats have been scented. Still a neat video. I wonder what the sex of the snakes are? The interactions could be dominance or perhaps pre-mating?

Does anyone know what kind of tool that the people were using to feed the King Cobra in the video? I know one was a hook what was the other one? It looked like very skinny tongs.

Pretty little kings, but they seem a bit stressed. I wouldn't keep/feed them in the same cage. One doesn't often see them this size - seems like they're always either huge or neonates. One of them readily consumes the head and neck of a snake, but they don't seem too crazy about the mice. Perhaps the one at the end was scented.
Some of the 'related videos" are quite good too... Despite the stupid title, 'Cobra vs. Python' has some really nice footage of O.hannah devouring a small retic.

hello my friend, well i dont think it really compares but at my work we keep kingsnakes and miks snakes together as long as they are well fed they dont seem to want to go after eachother, but if they are fed in the same container they will try to go for one same mouse and they will not hesitate to ingest one another, for example yesterday at work i accidently fed two kingsnakes together and leftt them alone, when i came back to check on then one of them was done eating and the other wasnt, so the one that had finished its mean tried eating the other half of the mouse that the snake hadnt fully ingested and it started putting the other kingsnakes head in it mouth, i imidiately separated them but maybe the king cobras are just well fed all the time and have no interest in eating eachother, i still wouldnt recommend feeding in the same cage
