Until they are adult they will need separating for exactly the same reason as juvenile snakes, early breeding, egg binding, death etc. The girly cresties are quite good at fending off naughty males but repeated attempts may cause stress and tail loss too. Best for them if they are saperate, put them together when/if you want eggs.

Oh yeah people introduce new cresties all the time after quarantine you just do it in a controlled way for a bit, divide the viv with mesh so they are next to each other but not actually able to fight etc, see how they react. Or keep them separate and have them both out the same time.
