OK, you said one of them bits the other one correct? I am going to assume that one of them is biting the other one. First thing I want to ask is, are they biting each other or is one biting the other one? the second question I have is Where are they biting, neck, limbs, tail, etc...?
If one is biting the other one and it is along the back and neck then they might be old enough to breed. If they are just fighting, separate them and have them sexed if you don't know how.
Next set of questions for you to think about if they are just mating, Do you want them to breed? I am assuming you have not researched breeding or you would know that this is typical breeding behavior.
Second, If you do not want them to breed are you prepared to separate them for good? The breeding season is 10 months long.
If she has not laid eggs in the past you need to watch her like a hawk so she is OK. If she does end up with eggs she might not already have been bred. However, Female Leos can store male semen in their bodies for future use, up to a year and a half. So if you didn't want them to breed it could be too late.

If they are both males SEPARATE them. I have two female Crested Geckos and they never bite each-other so i don't think that its is natural... If they are male and female he might be trying to mate with her and she does not want it... he should get the point but if not separate them. If there both female...I don't know you got an aggressive gecko, separate them.

Males should never be placed together, they will fight and hurt each other. If these are males, I would separate them. In fact, it sounds like they may possibly need that anyone. I have crested geckos, though, and know the most about them.

If they are male and female then they were mating. If you are that worried about it then seperate them. Mine bite each other all of the time. It's natural.

Best thing is to seperate them into two terrariums as you probably have to sexually mature males. If they keep biting and fighting, one will probably loose it's tail and/or kill the other one. It's definately not normal behaviour, Good-luck
