I just noticed that my leo has some raw spots on his tail and most recently a few on his head. Very small spots that dont bleed just look kinda painful for the little girl. I can try to get some pictures up but dont get on the computer often. i have a box with wet moss both my girls go in almost all the time. I also have noticed in the last month or so my newer girl has been attacking my older girl. Both are the same size and get fed the same amount of food. The younger one just bites her back and tail sometimes but untill i saw some pics of what a leo can do to another i didnt think they could do much harm. Any help would be appretiated. I am going to get another tank and seperate them if they dont stop.

Females can be pretty aggressive with each other when housed together. They will establish a 'pecking order' where the dominant (alpha) female will fight younger, weaker, or more passive females for territory and food... sometimes to the point of intimidation enough to cause them to stop eating. Your best bet is to house them separately, and put some neosporin on the wounds.
