I just picked up a juvie L144, and was wondering if it needs to be kept separate from common BN's when it matures?

While I agree that it is extremely hard (not to say impossible) to get LDA16 "on purpose" it is possible to get them as contaminants in shipments of common BNs. The juveniles look almost identical. This is how I got mine.
