randy gecko

[darth_gecko]

hi all...my male lavander leo is about 8-9 months old (or older) and has recently started to attempt to "grapple" the necks of his 2 female tank mates, since he was causeing injury(the odd scab has been found on the necks of my 2 female leos) to his partners i had put them in the same tank as my hypo male (hes the same a age and size as the females) and they've been ok since. but the other night(on the 6th of jan 2 days after the females were moved out) me and my girlfriend caught the male lavender with his hermipenes out and he was licking them. also an issue my female lavender dosnt seem 2 eat much she has an ok tail but she looks alot skinnyer than the others is there summit wrong?

could any one please tell me if hes just randy or is there summit wrong?

You need to separate the girls from the boy. He will stress them out to death.

They will be stress out for two reasons. 1 is that they are in a new tank, and they are not used to it enough to make sure the food is ok to eat. The 2 reason is that the male might be bulling the female, making her too scared to eat. Just like TameYourself said, you need to seperate them, this will stress them out like heck, but just wait, they will eat again

All my geckos lick themselves at one point or another. Even the females do it occationally.
