Common knowledge. Proven by keepers. Observed in the wild. All of those.
Any one who studies reptiles has seen it first hand. Read any information on snakes in the wild. Only during times of hardship/breeding with they bunker down with other snakes. As soon as both of those things are over it is straight back to solitary living. It's the way instinct tells them to be. Garter snakes and some rattlers are the exceptions. They live in community dens. However that behavior is very rare in other types of snakes.

Well we got two snakes on Saturday and have just separated them out today through observing them and deciding they weren't happy about each other. They both went for the same spots and progressively one of them would push the other out of the way as they slept and/or rested. So from what little experience I have I would say that they do.
