What goes here???
what is the sex. if they are to females you may be able to get away with housing them together.if they are two males then you cant house them together because on will be dominant and the other one will get stresed out and then he may not eat. i would recommend you house them separatly regardless.
p.s. some corn will actually eat their siblings which is why separate ccaging is recommended.

one is a baby female albino corn and a baby male blizzard corn, I finally got around to calling the breeder a bit ago and he said that they would be fine together. I am making their home right now. 
I didn't know that corns will eat other corns!?! I thought that was a kingsnake thing

Lil anologie.. You and a roomate are sitting in the house.. He brings home some McDonalds french fries an you are hungry as hell, so ya steal some when he walks in..haha thats what will happen when you cage them 2gether.. another problem is parasites.. 1 could be sick, the other not.. that will get the other 1 sick, see what im saying? its all around better 2 have 2 seperate cages..
I went ahead and put them together because the breeder told me that it would be okay, and they seem to be doing fine and getting along. I realize that they can't be fed together, but I DO want to breed them, but I don't want to jepordize their health by doing it too early. Exactly when can they produce babies?? Not before a year?? right?

I would definitly
*not* be housing a confirmed male with a confirmed female! You are definitly running a risk of her getting pregnant way to early, and that could cause serious, if not fatal harm in some cases.
I would seperate them now. It doesn't matter what the breeder said. Corns should not get pregnant or near a male until they are at least 3 feet long.
Also, one could get the other sick. One could regurgetate and you won't know which did it, one could stress out the other. A ton of reasons to keep them *seperate*, and there are not many, if any reasons to keep them together.

I hope you mean <i>very</i> soon. I once thought of housing two females together (I was talked out of it) but I wouldn't take the chance housing a male and female together unless they were both over three feet long and I was set up and ready to look after eggs. I would be quick about getting their new houses sorted out. While they are hatchlings, they can be happily housed in one of those plastic tanks that you can use for Tarantulas eek

no
They are not old enough to mate yet, but just because they *shouldnt* mate until they are three feet or more doesn't mean they cant or won't. Plenty of corns under three feet and very young have accidently gotten pregnant.
But my point though is who cares about the breeding reasons, when there are even more important reasons for keeping them alone...i.e. stress...slim chance of cannabilisim, sickness being passed, not knowing who did what, etc. I would not keep my snakes together as I like to keep accurate records, and healthy stress free animals.
I am sorry the breeder told you that. A good breeder recomends eahc young corn have its own cage, as this works out the best in almost every single case. Especially with new corns.
