Houseing multiple snakes

I recently aquired a pair of adult clutch siblings. Male and female. I have a adult female bp as well. The clutch siblings came in one tank and have never been seperated. I seperated them because I was always taught 1 snake per tank. However the male seems stressed without his sister.
What to do?
I don't think its wise to leave them as they mature. I'd hate for a breeding. I don't know if it matters if siblings within a clutch breed.

Separate them

Er, the male is perhaps stressed without his... well, not just his sister. Lover?
I'd still say separate them. Not that I have experience with cohabiting, but it sounds like it would be much more worth it in the long run to have "discomfort" from the male now - and maybe just in mating season? - than stress of the female AND the male from living together.

All the best!

I would separate them. In my opinion, you should not keep an adult male and female in the same enclosure unless you are doing so to breed them, and even then only for short periods of time. It will be better for both to have their own enclosures. He's just antsy because he has been housed with a mature female and now has no access to her! He'll calm down.

What makes you think the male is stressed?

Did he get the new tank? Could it possibly be he is just getting used to the new surroundings and not because he is now solo? You left him alone for a week once he was in the new tank, I assume, so he could get comfortable. How long they been separated now?

Also keep them separated IMO.

Why do you think that?

They're juvenile adults. Not close to breeding ages or sizes. I kept them seperate, but moved tanks close to one another. He seems to have chilled out a little. They seem comfortable to curl closest to the tanks sides facing each other.

separate them. Healthier for them and eliminates the risk of little inbred babies. :)
