This is how different both sex will look, easy to see.

Mine are kept in empty cages, a few branches and large water section, no plants or foliage, light intensity plays an important part in there stress level.

Intense color usually indicate high stress, these lizards display colors to impress rivals or signal females. Not sure about your shower experience, maybe its not that positive? As being totally stressed out will bring defensive coloration.

The only sure sing any lizards aren’t overly stressed is when they feed immediately after such a disturbance, if they don’t stop doing it.


sorry about the bad pic, its the only one I have on hand.
