Default Question regarding behavior of my 2 tokays

Hello again,
I know I just posted, but I figured I would ask a couple of questions while they were fresh in my mind. My two tokays have been together for about 10 days. My first I have had for about 2 weeks and a few days and my other from a show 10 days ago. They seem to stay very close during the day time hours - Huddling next to each other in a corner, or behind a hanging plant. However, at night they will sort of part ways, and then one will go to the other and almost rub his front feet on him...almost like he is brushing him/her for a few seconds. They also will sit nose to nose often at night like they want the other one to know they are there. I have also seen them lick each other, seems almost out of curiousity.
Has anyone else witnessed any behaviors like this? I don't want to call it aggression and since I'm not sure of the sex I don't know if its a mating action. Also, in the 2 plus weeks I haven't heard either of them make a noise, which leads me to believe they were female...but to hard to tell.

Any advice appreciated, and I will get new pics up when I can get a better view of them during the day.

From what you are describing that has nothing to do with aggression. Sounds more like a male and female interacting. I guess it does have to do with mating but more so just them interacting and showing they are comfortable with each other.

I'd say they're sharing the same hidding spot during the day, for safety, and at night they're just hunting in different parts of the vivarium... after all tokays hunt alone.
