I previously own a male lepored gecko, Today i bought two femal lepored geckos. I read on a site about how the male will vibrate its tail and if the female doesnt respond by doing the same thing then he knows its a female. Welll so far the one female and male have met and he did the whole vibrating thing but then keeps biting her. Will this stop or is he going to kill her. The pet store said in a 30 gallon i can have these 2 females without any problems and every site i read says the same thing, but why is he biting her and if its normal how long does it last?
Here are a couple pics of the females and my male. last pic is the male.

Separate them as soon as possible. If it is another male they will fight until the death. You should have kept them quarantined anyways until you were 100% sure the sex of the new ones.

Also if it is a female he could be trying to breed with her. If she is too young this can be very stressful on her. They don't look that old. They should AT LEAST be 1 year of age before attempting to breed.

They are females , and the one he was biting is only 8 to 10 months old. I put a divider in the tank and seperated both females away from the male.
The females are defenetly too young, they dont stand a chance with the male, wait for at least a year before putting them together again. By the way the male its owesame;)
