Glad you found the answer, deffinitely would have said no myself. Corn snakes and other similar type snakes do and can eat eachother, sometimes intentionally, sometimes accidently (ie during feeding, even if both fed out of the cage, the lingering smell of prey on the smaller could result in it being gobbled up by the bigger snake).

Other than that risk, as the smaller is a male, he will eventualy become large enough to breed the female and unless you are planning on breeding them, they may do so when you are not expecting it. Small males can sometimes successfully bred with an older sexually mature female.

Best to house separately (a 4 month old baby corn doesn't need a big cage anyway, they can do quite well in a sweater box size rubbermaid, or 10-20G tank). Just make sure the lid is very well secure and snug, small corns can get out of small spaces easily.
