that puts them around 8 months?? .What weight is the female? she needs to be minimum 50 grs and the male around the same MINIMUM.Why are u keeping them together if u think its too early for breeding?.Are u sure they are male and female?? What were your incubation temps.It sounds like the bites are mating bites.

Together because they always have been.. dunno weights... no scale but the female isclise to the size of the mother was..

I don't know if its to early that's what im ssking

Do u know what a male and a female look like?I would suggest u do some research on some basic things like what would happen if u kept a female and a male together-little babies !!! ? if u knew they were a male and a female u knew they would one day breed didnt u? So from what u tell me it looks like they have mated.What happens if she starts laying eggs and she is only 30 grs ? your basically putting her at some risk.If your female is 30-40 grams that is not the desired weight to be laying eggs although it wouldnt be the end of the world Imo a female has to be minimum 50 grs and 1 yr old for breeding.If your asking if its too early in the year than no, some leos are ovulating right now and are breeding.

Okat.. i just checked again.. and both look like males..

the one with bite marks

The other

well the first pic definately looks male but the second big has a shadow ,cant really make it out.Since 2 males generally will kill one another that leads me to believe one is female and the other is male.also the one that has the bite marks up the tail is probably female since thats a mating issue

First is the Leo with the bite mark that's why I'm confused

How do u know u had a brother and sister.Did u temp incubate at different temps??

 

[im faster]

Incubated at midrange so I would have a mix

Don't assume because u temped mid range that one is female and one is male.Temp incubating is not guaranteed.

 

[im faster]

A assumed the one was male and female because it looked like they had mated

Like u said when u get home post another pic of the second leo.Use your macro setting on your camera

OK, wait a second. Do you want them to breed or not? Do you want them to be healthy geckos and survive or not? No matter what their sexes are, you should be housing them separately because obviously they don't get along.

okay they have been together since birth.. and this is the onlytime ive noticed anything like this. and like i said i suspected it to be breeding.. i dont care if they breed or not.. i just asked if it was possible or common for breeding this early

yes they will breed at 8 months.Im a big fan of housing my leos seperately.that way there are no skirmishes
