It says so in the description (for once, the description is helpful)

@Zechnophobe: I haven't got the snake boots (yet), but two of the rings. I intend to try out what royal snakes can do with that. Was getting two rings possible in a previous KB game? I had a snake team once, but I do not remember if it was with ring + boots or two rings (+ boots?).

Yes, I've had at least one game where I got two Rings of the Snake King (and yes, with Royal Snakes they're digustingly hideous). Unfortunately, I think that was my first game, as a Warrior, and I didn't know about the "tricks" (single stack army, invisible, Magic Spring with Sleem's poison cloud, and so on); I just played it straight through with brute force. One ring was in a box, and the other showed up in the dragon castle after the Dragon's Heart quest with Galena.

That same game I also had two Snake Boots--I wound up with a LOT of "two of item X"--so my pimped out Royal Snakes could max at 8 init, 5 move, with 14-18 damage (assuming I had a wife that wore boots and I equipped the whip and dagger weapons as well as both rings).

.

My current TL game I'm a Mage, and found two Staves of the Great Druid (+4 INT, +50% attack to animals); unfortunately I could only use one with froggy Feonora (total 250% of base attack for Royal Snakes). Then I found a second Staff of the Archmage (+5 INT, +20% Lightning damage) so I divorced Feonora and got Xeona just so I can use three of the four at the same time.

So I can either have:
200% of animal attacks (like Feonora)/+13INT (4, 4, 5)/+20% Lightning damage,
OR
150% animal attacks/+14INT (4, 5, 5)/+40% Lightning damage,
depending on what I'm facing/what army I'm rocking (Demonesses w/Anga's Ruby if I need high initiative, or Royal Snakes, or Demons/Griffins for always retaliate, or whatever).

While everyone's discussing Snake Rings, I have THREE on my mage playthrough, although I'm not entirely sure where I got all of them. At least one is from the Witch in Isterreng.
