I knew this time would come

well as most of u know i have 2 leos one male one female together and last night my female bit my male hook 3 times twice on the tail once on the back.

the odd thing is he is bigger than (her) speedy

the bite marks are not deep and have only took off a top layer of skin
is there anything i can do for him he does not seem in pain and is acting fine

i am ready to seporate if i need to i preperd and have a plan but this morning they were in the same hide with each other no new bite marks

was it just a tiff ?
should i just get 2 humid hides (the fight took place in a large hide)

will he be okay ?

It's possible the male may have been trying to mate with the female and she fought him off. It's probably best to separate them until she ovulates (I assume that if you have a male and a female together you're hoping for eggs. If not, they should be separated right away anyway). If you're determined to try to keep them together, you could get a second humid hide and watch them very carefully. If more biting and scratching occur, you'll have to separate them.

i have now got two hides acting as humid hides and they have 5 hides all together

again when i came home they where together in the same hide i think i will leave it and see what happens and check them both over in the morning for bite marks.

they seem fine now but when i feed them i will keep them seporate

thanks

is there anything i can do for hook ?

I agree with Aliza. Males can be very persistent about wanting to breed, and if the female is not ovulating she will not be receptive. Keep a close eye on them, and if the squabbling continues speparate them to avoid injury.
