Hello (yet again!)
Sorry to be asking so many questions at the moment!
Before I introduce my pair to each other again I just wanted to check how much of a problem biting during courtship is? Obviously it's part of the ritual but at what point is it time for me to step in and separate them. The last time I put the two together (and bear in mind I thought they were both boys back then!) the big guy kept trying to bite her face. Previously when they had been together he'd only tried to bite her legs/rear.
What should I allow? If the female (or male in fact) does get bitten what should I do? If it was a big bite I would of course go to the vet but if it's just a small one is that necessary? Do they heal easily or is it like other reptile bites and they need to go straight to a vet? Are there any products I can use to clean a bite wound that won't harm them?
Sorry again for all the questions but thanks for your patience and help!
Nancy
