(Skip to bottom for the overal question)
I have a male(10months) and female(8 months) living together For about a couple months in a 40g tank. they have two basking lights and have everything they would ever need. the male has recently started mounting the female and biting her neck attempting to mate, this much I understand. But now the male and female have also started circling eachother trying to bite at each others tails. I'm aware this is a sign of aggression and they do this probably once or twice every day. I've asked someone at a reptile shop and they said they would probably be fine and I'm gonna call a vet too. I'm trying to get more than one opinion on this or atleast the most supported opinion. So,
Is this a normal thing for beardied dragons to do when mating or should they be separated?
