They aren't in the same pen, they just wander into each others rooms. He is very aggressive and has taken off scales with his bites. All social tortoise roaming in our house is supervised now. They both have their own spaces.

Ok so washington and Zoe are fine now, they seem to be eating and we are getting to know them. About two weeks ago Zoe laid eggs! So I'm incubating them and I'm scheduled to candle them today to look for veins, I don't know if they consummated their neighbor relationship, I don't expect these...
First thank you everybody for your responses.
One Saturday Washington actually did vomit up food we fed him earlier that morning, so we brought Washington and to a DVM specialist in Akron and he found an abundance of parasites in his stool which probably spread into his stomach and caused him...
No he has no injuries or strange damage. We are also concerned because we got him in march of last year and he wasn't behaving like this, we are looking for a specialist now. Than you.

I'm in northern ohio, this is one of the coldest winters on record and our first with him. His nighttime temperatures right now are 76.6 in the coldest corner he reads 82 and 96.5 in the red night basking corner.
