Yesterday I introduced a new female leo to my male and female. They are aproximately the same size.
The "old" female didn't care about the new one at all. She didn't even look at her. The new one was a bit curious and sniffed her, she then walked away. That was it.
The male on the other hand, ran to her, licked her, then bit her at the back. Not hard. More like a small nibble or something. But it was a bit scary I have to say.
Then they went their separate ways, the male to his moist hide, and the new female to hers.
This morning I found all three geckos sleeping in the same cave (the male's favorite moist hide).
I guess the introduction went fine?
Was the behaviour of my male ok or at least normal?
When can I relax and count on that the introduction went well?
