My father and I came across Western Fence Lizard last week on Mon. She was very standard looking, lighter than most I hvae seen, blue stripes on her belly and I gethered she was a Female just from research on the net and coming across pictures of both genders.

I went to the pet store and got her a nice little set-up- 10gl tank, brown dirt/grounding, a hollow log to hide & bask on and a shrub for the other side for shade. I got her a small drinking bowl which I have not seen her use but the water level mysteriously is lower the next day =). I have given her 2 crickets each morning, keeping the heating lamp on one side on during the day, I put temp gauges in the tank to monitor along with a humidity gauge.

I have NEVER owned a lizard before, but I love every anmal and I really like her! So I hope I am doing everything right.

She has been at the office, Sat afternoon my father was here and he turned on her light for me and fed her, MISTAKE was he left the light on over night! Not only that, but it was STILL ON when I got here this morning (monday). Her coloring is almost BLACK now!! I am terrified that is mistake is going to kill her! What can I do?? Please help!!? I turned the light off, she dug herself under the dirt and I am afraid to turn the light on now if she is burnt. HELP PLEASE!!
