10 gallons is way too small for one axolotl, let alone two. The small size could be why they’re snapping at each other. That, or you’re not feeding them enough.
Either way, the tank is way too small. Axolotls can grow up to a foot long, even more at times, so yours are gonna be squished in that tank real fast. And with the amount of bio load, you’ll have to be doing near daily water changes, otherwise they’re swimming in their own poop; the risk of infections and burns is dangerous.
I’d recommend AT LEAST a 40gal breeder tank for two axolotls, however for mine I chose a 55gal for ease. If I were you, I’d go with the 55gal just because of the amount of bio load your axies will produce.
If you live in the states, Petco tends to have really good tank sales, like 50% off. That’s how I got mine.
For future advice, I’d check out the axolotl discord—if you have discord, of course. It’s quick, and easy to get responses. They’ll help you out big time.

FragileCorpse:Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.+1

FragileCorpse:He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC+1
