I find the “biting” behavior fairly common, it occurs with cagemate’s legs, head, and even keepers fingers on occasion. So it would appear to be a normal feeding response, just an unfortunate one from the aspect of trying to keep all your captives happy and carefree. No on has been injured yet, just a little shaken up : )

While keeping all of your geckos as singles is likely the best case scenario, we simply don’t have the space. So we keep them in groups of 2, sometimes 3, sorted by weight until adulthood. Also we get a good idea of food consumption by watching them eat insects and weight monitoring (which is really more of a diagnostic than that food intake).
