NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
And yes, even if they ARE the same size it isn't safe. An example:
In the late 80's a study on eastern indigo snakes (yes, I know, they're not kingsnakes, but they are known to eat other snakes) was started at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge here in Florida. This study involved snakes that had radio transmitters implanted into them. One of these snakes, when it was found after being released weighed twice as much as it had when it was caught the first time to have the transmitter put in. It was taken in to be X-rayed (this study was to determine diet, range, preferred habitat, etc. a lot of stuff was found out all in all, and it's still going on) and it had an eastern diamondback rattlesnake in it's stomach that was actually LONGER than it was.
Any snake can and will resort to cannibalism, but kings are very well-known for this. Unless you want to lose a snake, don't do it.

Definetl not kingsnakes are called KING snakes because they eat other snakes, That is why the king cobra has its name because it eats other snakes. This is a bad idea they will almost for sure fight and one will end up dead or with serious injuries.

ok it relatively is in all probability unlawful to seize wild animals without out some form of enable, i be attentive to it relatively is right here. 2nd in case you had a enable then you definately could have been before knowledgeable in the care of the animal you have been shooting, and would not be asking such questions with reference to right here. My suggestion, in case you prefer to maintain a snake, then teach your self on snake care, and then get your self a snake, no longer any opposite direction around. additionally bypass purchase a captive raised snake, so which you be attentive to what you're turning out to be is a healthful disease unfastened animal, and enable the wild animals be unfastened. they have a job to do in the wild and once you do away with them you're harming the community environment. Do the the superb option ingredient.

no, you should refrain from housing ANY reptiles together unless you have the intention of breeding them.
King snakes are cannabalistic (as are corn snakes!)
do your research before getting either of these snakes, and if you already have them, then keep them in seperate cages, and do your research on them.
By doing your research, I mean do the research yourself, don't come on here asking for everyone else to do it for you.

If they are EXACTLY the same size then yes BUT if one is just slightly larger than the other the larger will try to eat the smaller. With king snakes it's safer to house them seperately.

Absolutely not. They're both snake eaters & even if they're similar size, they will follow their nature & one will try to eat the other. This is even tricky with pairs that you intend to breed.

No kingsnakes eat other snakes, so one of them will eat the other.
