One of my Mali Uros is an adult male. No doubt. The second (younger) Uro is female (i'm pretty sure). When I got the second Uro, the male did his head bobbing ritual, and they were inseperable. That was in March of this year. They slept in the same hide box, basked together in the high-heat area. They were always touching, and always next to each other.



Now the male hisses and bites the female. If he sees her on the high-heat basking spot, he attacks her. He chased her out of his hide box (she now sleeps in her own hide box), and he bites her every chance he gets. What is going on? I have had her (I'm still pretty sure it is a "her" for almost five months. Any ideas? I really would hate to sell one of them, but I really can't spare another 6' x 3' area for a second pen.
