| You'll probably not get an agreed response. Some will say they shouldn't co-habit at all. I would say that if you were going to they should be of a similar size. |

Blackecho is right, adding a baby into a tank with an older one is asking for trouble.
Although some snakes adapt easily and really well, others don't, and it's when you finally find out they don't adapt is usually to late.
Not recommended.
Be careful, otherwise all you're gonna do is learn, the hard way, about Cannibalism.

I co-habit most of my corns BUT each pairing is a similar size and age. cannibalism and bullying can be a problem (especially the latter) if they are mis-matched whether it's a 2.0, 0.2 or 1.1 pair. the needs of both snakes need to be met, providing them with enough space - my adult pair are both 4 foot plus and live happily in a 4'x 2'x 2' viv - they need a hide each at both ends of the viv, they need feeding separately, and need careful monitoring - eg. do you know which one has shed if you find the skin in the viv?
having said that, some people say a definite NO to co-habiting. |

| a hatchling will only need a small faunarium/critter cage/RUB, it would probably be easier and safer (in case of escapes!) to house it completely separately, |
