Buying more than one

As you know from my other posts I am a newbie and I got my first Texas Barred Tiger Sallie this week. He likes to burrow a lot. Do you think it would be okay to buy another one then maybe that one wont burrow as much and my kids and I can watch him more (I know he will burrow a lot also). Or is it not good to have more than one in a 10 gal tank? I dont know what sex the one I have now is so I wasnt sure if you got two of the same sex in one tank would they fight or as long as you feed them enough for both of them they would be happy. There are plenty of hiding spots for each of them if I got another. Thanks for your help.
 
I am no expert, I have had Fire-bellied for 3 years, but I have only had tigers for 1. If it were me, I wouldnt think it is a bad thing to get another one right now, if they are not full size yet, but once they get full size, you should get a bigger tank, like 20 gallon long, or something like that. And about the fighting, they might. I have had 2 in a 10 gallon for 5 months now, and they are just fine, dont fight, and even cuddle, but your might be different. Might want to get a word from some of the other people here though. Good luck!

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
