Most gecko species are not an agressive animal. Although some can be at times, or during certain circumstances, a geckos first reaction is to run. When housing geckos together in the same terrarium, there's a couple of factors to think about first. Geckos are solitary creatures in the wild and only interact with one of the opposite sex during breeding season. When captivly housed, people tend to house animals in pairs, or trio's and with another gecko or two around, there's bound to be accidents. To ensure no bites on one another, animals should be housed individually to reduce the chances of a missing tail. When animals are housed together, there are a couple of things that can cause one animal to bite another.
If males are housed together, there will be fights. Males will prove dominance and usually fight till death.
When a male and female are housed together, at the right ages, mating will occur. when this occurs, the male will bite on to the side of the females neck to hold her in place during intercourse.
Babies that are housed together often will have their attention grabbed by a tankmates trailing tail. Babies that are 5-10 grams will start to show signs of male or female. 90% of the time, babies that are acting aggressive are usually males. in other cases, certain females do not enjoy being housed in groups.

Do marble geckos bite a lot?
Depends. If it is scared it may bite. If it is used to you, it probably won't bite. Handle it alot and let other people handle it alot, and that will get it used to you. The bites aren't very strong i think, and usually do not break the skin.
