Today I witnessed one of my juvenile emys making a move and biting the other one on the neck. It seemed to be a clearly intentional bite, holding onto the skin until the other one was able to slip away. Over past few months I've seen the aggressor flip the other one on occasion when they cross each others path and display head bobbing after flipping took place. But the bite is of a concern. They have been raised together since hatchlings and from everything I've read, Emys should be getting along. I guess so much for that. Looks like I'll have to start thinking of rehoming one.
Has anyone experienced this aggression between Emys that have been raised together since hatchlings and is this aggression any indication of sexing the aggressor?
