Keeping two salamanders together

I'm thinking about joining my two salamander tanks (both 2.5 ft x 1.5ft x 8 inches high) with a pvc tube. I'm concerned about the size difference of the two animals (8inches+ and 5 inches) the big one is female and the little one is currently unsexable. Will the big one attack the little one? I this a bad idea? thanks
 
brian-she is in australia and has 2 morphed axolotls. i have not kept them myself, muchless morphed ones-so i dont know how agressive of feeders they are on land. if they are like tiger sals in behaviour then it might go ok, but even my tigers occasionally will take a tail tip off each other-and they are the same sizes...are they hand fed or do you just release food into the tank for them? if the former then i'd say go for it, if they eat free roaming food they might be reflexive feeders and then it would probably be a bad idea-at least untill the smaller one catches up in size.
 
ahhh paris andy is short for andrew! They are hand fed but i think i'll let the little one grow an inch before putting them together
 
Muhahahaha.......sry

    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.

    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
