This often happens after such a time of bonding , and so called HAPPY TIMES. Once it starts atleast in my case it did not stop. I had to seperate or one of my uros no doubt would have been killed by the other.



In my case it was a large female egyptian, who lived (lovingly for THREE years.... with a male saharan) Until a day like your speaking of, I kind of ignored the lil nips by her to him for a couple days, then I was in the room one day and saw her pick him up in her mouth like a toy and start to shake him. NEVER lived together again.



It's a shame, but if you can not house the 2 in different enclosures, you may have no option but to find one a home. But for now put the smaller of the 2 in a rubbermaid container, they are inexpensive, you can cut the middle of lid out and hot glue window screening on to the rest of top *( the metal kind) so you can put a basking light on top when done, and it will not burn.)



This will provide a temporary and safe home for one of them while you decide what you will do.



I wish you the best and hope it all works out. Let us know how it goes. Just don't keep them together , believe me, it (the aggression) will continue, and only get worse.
