very odd news...

a while back i asked a bunch of people on this site whether or not it was a good idea to put my 2 uro's together even though there was a slight size diff. One was around 8 inches and the other 6 1/2 inches. Anyways the problem that they said was that the bigger uro would bully the smaller one and he/she would get no food. I slowly started to introduce them to eachother outside of there habbitat and after a while they got along perfectly fine and both were eating perfectly and still are. The weird thing that im starting to notice is that the SMALLER one is trying to bite the bigger one. I temporarely split them up with a piece of wood in the middle of the tank but does anyone have any idea why this would occur?

thanks in advance (if anyone replies )

My guess is that size is not that important.
The character of an animal is more important.

it could be possible the smaller one is a male and the bigger one is female and they're trying to mate,did the bigger one get bit in the side?

yes the little one bit its leg and stomach area on the side. I am almost positive they are to small to mate though? the bigger one maybe but the smaller one, i wouldnt think so.
