I was planning on seperating my leos, but was waiting to get a new aquarium for free this week....
On a positive, I noticed Pixie's head swelling was going down when I fed my girls today.
5 mins after the feeding, Pixie's sister went ape[bleep] on her. She started viciously attacking her. I thought she was gonna lose her tail! Pixie just ran away and tried to hide but Lava wouldn't let up. I had to grab her to make it stop.
I took Lava, the aggressive one, out and she's in a mesh reptarium thing for now. Won't have a heatlamp for a couple days, but its about 80 degrees in my apt.
These are sisters who are clutchmates, and about 7 years old now. I have NEVER witnessed anything like this. Why would one suddenly become so aggressive?
I thought maybe they could be males since neither have laid eggs, but I looked at them both very closely today and both look female (ive had males before, plus looked up pics, etc). They were also temp sexed by breeder.
Has anyone experienced this kind of behaivour before? After seven years of them living peacefully together this comes as a huge shock...
No big changes to them lately... except I brought home a juvi female bearded dragon 3 weeks ago (she gets a lot of attention and taken out of her cage a lot where the leos can see her)....
PS- Your Pixie is gorgeous!
