snakes housed near eachother

[pinhed]

I have had a IJCP for a lil over a year probly almost 2 years old male. And just got a baby IJCP female and they are in the same room seperate enclosures kinda near eachother. They cannot see eachother but the male seems to be getting a little aggitated, he hissed at me the other day and has never done that before. Do you think he is getting aggitated because of the other snake? And if so should i put them in seperate rooms or farther away from eachother?

Thanks for any help,

I have had up to 40 snakes or so together in the same room with no problems before. I doubt the younger snake being there has anything to do with it.

Was thinking that but thought it might have got used to being the only snake in the house. havent had another snake around for almost a year.

smack me upside the head someone. =P
Pretty sure hes gonna shed soon, usually I leave him alone when he starts laying in his hide and doesnt come out till he is ready to shed his skin. Guess he is losing his preshed shyness. =P
