Recently, Toothless morphed. But I’m keeping him separate from Salaman Grundy because she is a glutton and I’m worried she would eat him. At what point can I keep these two together? Salaman is nearly a foot long. Here is a photo for comparison.
I’m just always worried because Salaman is such a glutton. She eats anything that moves. I’ve seen her eat a wad of dirt because it shifted. She even will bite at water when it drips on her. I would say it’s because I’m underfeeding her, but she eats nearly 30-50 live crickets a week

Lmao. She ate a wad of dirt????????. I would keep the separate but able to see each other. That way Salaman will get use to seeing movement and not associate it with eating. Beautiful sals!

In most cases, tiger sals can live together just fine, but in this case I agree with your hesitation. I would keep them separate until the smaller one catches up in size and appetite.
