    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Blizzards turning dark?

Heyo, new here...

At a pet store I used to work at, we got in some baby blizzard leopard geckos. They were so pretty I was sure they'd be bought quickly. (I debated getting them myself, but I don't have the money!)

However... months later, they're STILL there, and they've gone from pale pastel to brown. =( Is this normal?
 
As long as they're not losing weight etc, it's normal.

Oh, they're fat and healthy. Their tank is unfortunately a bit overcrowded. =(

So would dark mean the same thing as it would in like a bearded dragon- that they're stressed or otherwise upset?
 
i have also noticed in mine that they will darken up if there temperature are dropped.
 
You know, i have seen other blizzards change color, but i have two females and they have never changed :| Mine are just blah geckos i suppose lol they don't get "moods" lol
 
lol... yeah... one of mine is pretty constant, and the other female she is housed with is the mood one. I look in the tub sometimes and can't tell them apart, and then look again and its like black and white..
 
You should buy them and save them from stress!!!!!! :) These guys are so fun and amazing and pretty low maintenance! Get them you wont be dissapointed but if they are both males then I'd suggest get 1
 
Blizzards do tend to change color with moods. Some are pale when relaxed and darken up when excited. Some are dark (mine) and lighten up when they're excited. Dark does not mean stressed.

My PA does the exact same thing. She is usually bright yellow with a purple ish tail, sometimes she is a bruised banana color with a dark grey tail. Funny. I think its a mood thing.
