difficult to say, because with many lizards, plateds included, bites to the rear of the body generally signify bullying/territorial domination, whereas bites to the neck region are generally mating related. the physical signs on the "female" that you were describing sounds like evidence of consistant bullying. just to play it safe, i would probably seperate them and see how that fares.
