dosent play well with other

hello whoever is reading this. i bought a leopard gecko about 3 weeks ago and was told it was female, but found out it was a male. my teacher at school has a male and female, and i have the famale with me right now. when i put her in the tank with spot, he started to vibrate his tail,i know males do that, and the female didn't. i thought that was suppose to be the cue that it was a female. but he started nipping at her and trying to fight like it was a male. the girl i got him from had him with a baby bearded dragon, and was fine. but he dosent seem to like geckos. dose anyone know why this is happening? he is about 7 or 8, and is going to live a while, and i plan on getting other geckos. if he cant share his cage nice dose any one know of any way to try to help this? i dont want to just let them fight, the female culd take him easily, she is beefy.

Fisrt of all, unless you are 100% positive of the sexes, do not put them together. Secondly, if there is a noticeable size diference, they should not be housed together. And third.....housing a Leo with a Beardie is VERY unhealthy. Finally..he MAY just be trying to breed. Wouldn't it be just simpler to have each of them in their own tank?

ok thanks

Don't forget to quarantine the new gecko for 60 days and get a fecal done to make sure it is healthy.

It's a bit late for that if she already put them in the same cage.
