Hmmm... I am a bit confused. Two of my two year old leopard geckos have lived together all of their lives. One has always been significantly larger than the other although they were the same age and is clearly the dominant of the two. The larger one was starving the smaller one and chasing it away from food, and behaving aggressively towards it. I bought a seperate enclosure for the smaller gecko to derail further conflict but not before it suffered a broken right ankle. I can confirm they are both females and had no previous signs of fighting.



Since the seperation the smaller gecko has regained its appetite and then some. At first I was extatic, but then I noticed it was no longer entering its hide during the day and was exhibiting a strange snapping motion at thin air. I could hear it's jaws snap shut, it would do this five or six times and then regurgitate the partially digested mealworms. Only thing I've seen it keep down since the seperation are wax worms. Has anyone encountered a behavior like this before?
