If permanently separating isn't an option for you right now then the DEFINITE females can stay together for a while but get that male out ASAP!! And keep him out

Absolutley, definitely, you MUST separate the male immediately - and the females as well ideally. They are not necessarily too young to breed - they are too young to breed SAFELY.

Breeding season is now but corn snakes can and will breed at any time of the year. As said you really need to seperate the male immediately and keep him seperate. Even when they are old enough and big enough to breed, the male can seriously stress the females out by pestering them for nookie. I would also strongly advise you to seperate all of the snakes. There have been many incidents of snakes being wrongly sexed and females laying clutches far too young.

There is a very big thread on co-habitting and I do advise you to read it thoroughly.
