Im a newbie so i may not be correct so someone please correct me if im wrong !!.
As far as i gather from what i have read its not really to advisable to keep corns together, but if you do they should be roughly the same size and age. Your snakes are two very different sizes and ages so i personally would not put them together.

Hope this helps a bit !

totally different sizes one of the snakes is the mother. the other the hatchling .What it is is that the hatchling is in a small box in the middle of the viv trying to do half n half temp wise at the minute just worried as i knw corn can escape through a pin hole if they wanted would hate it if that happened.

Certainly think you need to rehome the hatchling somewhere out of the mum's viv as soon as possible. It certainly is not safe with the risk of the hatchling escaping into the mum's viv. Glad your hatchling is doing so well. xxx

As others have said, introducing snakes of drastically different sizes and ages is a recipe for disaster.
