well i posted before about how my uro's were acting weird. Today as i was cleaning there tank and watching them for a bit, after taking the wood out to let them see eachother again for a bit, the smaller of the 2 uro's is running around with the bigger one and getting on her (maybe?) back. Then once hes on her back and creeps down and bites her right where her tail starts. I keep saying her but im not 100 percent sure on that..just think ing that because of all this behaviour. Do i have a female and male or 2 males? please help asap im gettin worried bout whether i should split them up for good.

This is most probably imposing behavior.
My male Uromastyx ocellata also did this when I introduced him to his female last week.
But... the behavior says nothing about their sex.
It could be 2 males, 2 females, but also male and female.
My ocellata´s are a lot calmer now, 10 days after the introduction.
Sorry for this answer, but it is impossible to gife you a 100% certain answer.

If both animals are eating they can stay together.
When the "weakest" stays in its hidingplace all day than you should separate them.
