It is closer to 3 weeks as if the male is left with the mother she will get pregnant straight away and give birth in 22 day, so the first litter have to be independant so as not to take food from the new second letter.
I've been keeping myn with the mother until around the 4 week mark with her having 2 large litters of 14 pups i think the extra week give or take can't be doing any harm and also I'm not in a rush for snake food, once I know they can 100% fend for them selves they get taken from the mother sexed and separated.
