Ironically, most of the cases of snake cannibalism in captivity (that I am aware of anyway) occur involve animals of similar size, because the keeper mistakenly assumed that it couldn't happen for that reason. I assure they can eat a snake their own size. I have seen it with corn snakes, bull snakes, king snakes, and know of cases involving baby ball pythons eating cage mates.

Thank you for the advice, I had no idea prior to today that snakes would eat one another. I posted in the newcomer's forum and heard the same thing there. I will separate them soon to prevent either of them being harmed. I'm glad I joined this site!
