I have my 2.4 57 day old juvies in my 4 ft tank and was wondering should I separate now to be safe. (I saw Eves male aggression pics)

Not out of meaness, he was trying to mate, and she had just layed a few days before so I suppose she did not want to. He bit her to hold her. As far as your juvies they will be fine.
I have had males live together at a year old and more, things change I think when they start getting old enough to breed, the male does not want another around. But babies should be fine.

....two males from the same hatch date (not related) which are now 11 months old and share a 40 gal viv with 3 females, and note that two have become gravid while in residence. These particular males seem completely unconcerned with the gender of their cagemates...of either sex, alas. While there is probably a good bit of individual variation in other lizards, these two captive bred lizards will probably not care at all about anything 'serious' until they have been brumated and undergo their first breeding season. There was a third male housed with them for the first 6 or 7 months also, and I never saw any hint of aggression from any of the three up to that point. I *hear* stories of young males fighting, but I have never seen it firsthand. Your milage may vary, of course.

For the time being it is not a problem but come spring when they are ready for breeding, they must be seperated ! I have seen what happens, Right before My male Zuni mated with Hopi for the first time this year he also lived with a Male, friends, HA ! As soon as Zuni had breeding on his mind his good friend became a thing to bite, and chase and plain wanted him OUT . Eve
