male beating on the female help

[Angel]

So a while back ago I noticed marks on one of my females who lives with the male all year round but lately he wouldnt leave her be so I seperated them , and she is now housed with another female and has been fine, well today she is ovulating infact both these girls are so I figured I wuld introduce the male {who has been very grouchy the past while since he lost his girls}
I put him in and he did the normal tail rattle and approached the original girl only to clamp down on her neck hard, he tried climbing on her at the same time biting her more she obiously wasnt happy and tried to walk off so i brushed him off and he released easy enough , but only to turn to the other female and clamped down on her face, from the view I had I thought he had her eye I reached in at grabbed them both he wouldnt release so my boyfriend added a light pressure to his jaw and he opened up and let her go , she is fine he didnt get her eye nor did he even break skin.
he is now in his own tank again as this seemed a little rough to me and im not into leaving them unattended now. My younger male doesnt attack this rough he does small nips on the neck and tail but never this hard . My question is this normal? should I try him again at a later date? should I remove 1 female when I do? he lives year round with this female since before i bought them so this is very odd that all of a sudden he shows aggression.

It's most likely because he's in mating mode. I have a male and a female that spend the year together because it seems as if the female is done ovulating and I'm trying to conserve space. She tends to hide in her magnet hide nearly 24/7 so he doesn't see much of her. If she walks by in Dec. he ignores her but in Jan. he tries to mate. I consider the female trying to walk away not to be a serious "no" and the female turning around and biting the male to be a serious "no". I also consider male biting that causes scratches to be acceptable and biting that causes gashes to be not acceptable. With that in mind, you may want to re-evaluate whether you'll let them try again.

from what alot of peole are telling me from the bc rep club is sorta the same that its normal as long as its not serious injurys being inflicted, this being said I do want to try them again he is the male I was hoping to use for most of my females , however I dont want to leave him unattended with them so will prob wait until tomorrow to try again and see how he does. i pulled up some videos on youtube on geckos mating and they seem alot less aggressive than what I saw but thinking they have probably been together for a bit and not just introduced 5 seconds before that was shot. anyways fingers crossed he behaves next time.

oh and the female didnt bite him back at any time she just tried to walk away but on the video i saw the female there walked away as well the male just followed her, I thought maybe she was trying to escape. my male bit both females who were in that tank, and neither fought back.

He might just be a bit excited!! And trying to mate as quick as possible. I would personally take one female out until hes done the deed with one then put her back in.

From my limited experience what u described is normal.My males do the same thing when mating.It seems vicious but my females are never physically injured.I put the male in for 2-3 days.If your watching them try to mate, it looks really vicious but in breeding terms its quite normal.
