What are some leopard gecko strees signs??

Question

Ok........ i was feeding my two geckos that are 2 years old. And then they both went after the same one and bit each other and the looked very mad at each other. What should i do?? and one of my geckos tail was strait up what does that mean help!!!

Answer 1

This is the risk you run when housing more than one reptile per cage.  It is best to house them alone.  Living so close to another gecko is NOT natural for them, and this is stressful.

Answer 2

I was just curious whether or not you have females or males present. Males will often be aggressive towards each other but you can usually tell which are males bc they begin fighting at an early age. Male have a v shaped row of preanal pores at the base of the tail. I highly recommend you buy another setup for the other leo if this continues. Too much stress on wither animal can cause them to stop eating, drinking, and possibly other health issues. Please keep an eyes on them and if they continues to fight you need to move one out A.S.A.P the tail straight up is a dominance sign, he saying" get off my territory or ill rip ya to shreds!"
