It could be possible they are both males or even that they have never been housed with another Leo.I would seperate them immediately.You should really quarantine anyways.

If they juveniles and are hissing at you, it is very normal. One of my favorites was very quiet, but would walk over and nip me for the first month I had her! Now, she is a very gentle girl that eats our of my hand. Give them a good, warm home, feed them well (they may not eat for a while) and let them have their space for a couple of weeks with little handling or stress. They will come around. Good Luck... R
