    Male and females near each other?

    Greetings all. I'm still new to the game so excuse my uninformed question. I know I will not be doing any bp breeding. I have 2 males in stacked enclosures and am planning on adding a 3rd BP and enclosure. Would it stress, excite, or annoy the male snakes to have a female in the stack? Boys will be boys... Would it stress, excite, annoy a female to be so close to the male snakes? Girls aren't so different than boys...

    I've got 3 males and 2 females sharing a rack at the moment.

    No problems at all. The worst I have is the usual fast on my oldest male

    Males can get a bit excitable and fast but it's usually nothing to worry about. On occasion you can get one trying so hard to escape that they rub their head to the point of causing injury. I've kept dozens of snakes of different species and this is something I've only encountered twice, so it's pretty rare. I did not have the same male repeat it year after year, just 2 times total, 2 different males.
