Is it possible for Juvi Leos to actually eat another entire juvi leo?

Why, are you missing one? If so I would consider their size. If they are the same size one could probably kill the other (not very likely) but most of it's body would be left. If there is a considerable size difference, definately. I have heard a few horror stories of baby leos eaten by larger leos. One thing that you might notice, if this is the case, is the missing leos tail.

I had my leos together as juveniles, but separated them for this very reason. They were mistaking each other for food. I believe it was not domance driven, although most will probably dissagree. Even now, I have my two females together and they sometimes get that look in their eyes. They do this when they see the others tail or leg moving. I may just be paranoid though. It is becoming more rare that I see this, otherwise I would be separating them again.

If you need to keep your leos together, the most likely way of avoiding this situation (besides pairing leos the same size) is by keeping you leos VERY well fed.

i have seen it in bearded dragons a bunch of times, i have one girl i believe killed 8 siblings, never found even parts of 5 of them, leos are not as agressive but i believe it could be possible, my agressive one was not much bigge then the ones she killed.
hope its just hiding! but if its gone and there re others id get them appart to prevent it from happining again.
