Ok I am wondering if I am going to have to separate my 2 leos... yesterday I noticed Amazon(potential male) nip at Baby(potential female) when I went to go feed them (they know when it is feeding time and come out of hiding). Then when I put the crickets in the cage they were fine until they both went for the same cricket and they had a tug-of-war with it then Amazon bit Baby's nose. Baby is fine and just has a few white dots on her nose, she doesn't seem to even know they are there. I have never seen them be aggressive besides this. Today I decided I will move them to separate small critter cages for feeding. Is that enough or do you think I should separate them completely? :confused:

I would like to suggest keeping them seperate and this is my reason.
I had two clutch mates given to me. One was very healthy the other was okay but needed to be fed more. Because of space I had to house them together for about two months. I watched them eat every day and the very healthy one always ate more, but never bugged the other too badly. They do tend to go for the same crix often, so it's not really aggression, just pigginess! LOL Once I had the chance to seperate them I noticed that the lesser of the two began to grow. Fast! Now he is far bigger that his brother. To get ot the point: it is best ot keep them seperate because in the long run it is bette for them both:D It doesn't take much to give them both a 10 gallon or a bigger critter keeper until they are for sure male & female.

ok would maybe taping a divider in the middle of my 20gal work? I am strapped for cash at the moment as i just broke my glasses and had to get a new pair... it is amazing what they can charge for glasses (cost almost $300!) Also Baby is the larger of the 2 and Amazon is the bully. Or what about adding addtional hides? Thanks for the advice, they will be separated somehow.
