Mating or Agression?

Hey guys, well I had an interesting mishap the other day. I got my 1.1 leos out and put them on the ground. This is about the 5th time I have done so within the past 2 weeks. They usually dont mind eachother. Alright, well this time my males tail was shaking at the end and he went in and latched on to the females tail. Now I know this is a deffinet sign of mating, but could it also have been a sign of agression? The female didnt really seem to mind and the wound wasnt bad at all. I just thought I would post here and get some suggestions before I did anything more to put them together. Thanks!

I know what you're talking about, but as to why or what the males are thinking escapes me. I think that's their way of letting the female know he's THERE and INTERESTED and to also show her that he dominates the territory. Not a whole lot more I can add to that without asking the male himself!
