I tried and it's really thick (considering I have extremely thick hair as it is) It seems the only way to pull them apart is to actually cut it right through the middle

I might just let them form a beaver tail (just the back bottom part) but keep all the other ones sperated for now on, or at least til they full mature. If I understand beaver tails can result in mold right? would drying it extra with a towel prevent this?

I feel for you. I am not enjoying my beaver tails AT ALL. They seem wrong, which of course they aren't if they are just part of the process. You have certainly inspired me to keep on top of separating my dreads! BTW, your hair is a GLORIOUS color! Good luck...

once you have them apart, go and get some beads and put them over each lock. that will help keep them from gongoing too
