I have 2 females in the same tank, and they like curling up together. Recently, I noticed some sort of cuts on one of the feamles, and I don't know what it is. It looks like the other feamle might have climbed over her and accidentally dug her claws in, but the prick points are not in a pattern. The prick points are not in the smae area, or look in the shape of a mouth(teeth marks) or in the shape of a foot. They are kind of scattered around her back and one on her head. Now, there really arent that many, just about 4-5. One is on her head, the others are on her upper or lower back. Any ideas on what it is? My logical thinking is the other geckos claws, but I'm not sure. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks!
Emily

It could just be from slight nipping at eachother.. they may need to be seperated, we had some females that were nipping at eachother and were afraid that the injuries could get worse.
