Question
I have a 2 yr old corn about 18 inches long.  I want to add a 2nd one(baby one).  Will the older snake harm the baby?

Answer
He might not...or he might. There are some matchups that don't mess with eachother, and some that do. My general rule is nothing that is more than 6 inches difference of the other. Corn snakes are that bad, but to be safe, I would wait until the baby is bigger to introduce the two of them to the same cage.
