Aggressive Peter's Banded Skink

[potey13]

I own two banded skinks that I house together, a male and a female, as I'm trying to breed them. Tonight's feeding was interesting as they got really aggressive with each other as I fed them worms. They tug-a-war with a couple ripping them in half and my female bit the nose and tail of my male skink. I will be separating them for future feedings. The main reason for my forum is if anyone has experienced this problem? And yes, I'm positive that it's a male and female as I'm very good with sexing this species and the person I bought from confirmed the sexes as well.

I suggest separating them and only bringing them together briefly for romantic encounters in mating season.

At the very least feeding them separately .

Else you risk serious injury.

Ya I've never seen them be aggressive toward one another when they are exploring the tank. I'm gonna separate them though for future feedings

How do you sex them? I have 1 but want a mate.
