1. there's no way a 2 year old corn is fully grown
2. a 2 year old female is not big or mature enough to breed from healthily (ie. the rule of 3 - 300g, 3ft long, 3 years old as minimum requirements)
3. the difference in size will make competition and bullying more likely which is stressful for the smaller or more timid of the two, likely to be the female in this instance.
to the OP, please take the time to thoroughly read the thread on co-habiting and make an informed decision regarding the facts and risks bearing in mind the sexes and ages of your own snakes. |

Also an very expensive herp vet treatment, they charge about £90 just for a lame check up on emergency hours so imagine how much some thing eles would cost if one of them got injured by the other one god forbid that but you never know.  |

Just wait one more year and make sure they both have Rule 3 Which is 3yrs old - 300g - 3ft long <-- these are the minium.
That would be if breeding Hyper, tho still wouldnt house together permanently, this thread looks more like co habiting, |
