golden geckos biting each other, help plz

[Tdizzle10]

My male golden gecko( gekko ulikovskii ) keeps biting my female one, he also does these weird barking sounds at night then chases her. what should I do? besides moving the female or the male to a different tank

you can see them here: YouTube - My newer set up with my two geckos!!

try posting up some clear well lit pics of the vent area on your female. none of those dark, blurry pics from 2 feet away through the glass. your "female" is probably a male. we'll help you out and make sure you've got a true pair.

To add to what Kevin said. If they are actually a pair he could be trying to breed her and she isnt having it.

I noticed this top one has larger pores by the V than the lower one

If you need more i have some

Doesn't look like a pair to me. Try to separate them.

Cheers!

2 males. Who told you the second one was a female?
Females will have no spurs, no bulge, and smaller pores.

10 quid on the pet shop.

damn...

i dont know what to do know, i get the new male in like january and i dont know if the shop will take the gecko back. and my other tank is only a ten gallon and im sure my mom wont let me get another tank

did the clerk sell it to you as a female? If so you have some leverage - it wasn't what they sold you. explain that your male is now trying to kill the "female" they sold you and that you don't have room for 2 tanks. get your parents involved and talk to a manager if you need. no reason why they can't exchange it for a real female of even just store credit.

however, if you're the one that tried sexing it and they didn't tell you what it was you're SOL

they said that the new one was female, and now its the new one trying to like fkin kill my old one which i now discovered is male

take it back and demand a credit or a refund. don't be afraid to get your 'rents involved either. would you have bought it if you knew it was a male? no! they sold you the wrong thing.
