okay so i tried them together and they arnt fighting however the smaller one seemed to be fine for a while but now everytime the bigger one gets on it the smaller one does a twitchy thing? is this a sign of aggression i have reseparated them again....
 
i wouldn't house any two corn snakes together no matter what size or age. the main reason is aggression and fighting but also because of cannibalism. it is rare but it does happen. so if i were you i wouldn't house them together.
 
The twitchy thing means that he is stressed and unhappy having the other snake in with him. "Go away" in body language. While I've kept two corns together sucessfully, they were approximately the same size. I would not put two corns that were so unequal in size in the same cage. Best to keep yours in separate cages. Good luck.

Hmmm. You don't own a snake, yet you feel qualified to dispense advice. This doesn't seem prudent. Aggression and fighting are the least of your worries when cohabitating corns-- they are certainly not the main reasons to avoid the practice. :rolleyes:
