I still can't get over the color changes in this Female Marble Auriculatus. After she was introduced into her new enclosure, she happily lays out in the open through out the day and turns white more often. At night, she goes into feeding mode and turns chocolate brown. Her eyes are absolutely wicked!

Those two pictures are the same gecko? Is it common for gargoyles to shift color that much? (My crested barely changes color from asleep to full-on active to stressed, so that much of a shift is amazing to me.)

This picture was taken in the same day. While I have seen her white before, she turns white more often since she has been in her new enclosure. She is always white when she sleeps on the grapevine. Camoflauges really well on it! I really don't believe she is stressed out as she is in a bigger enclosure with plenty of new hiding places. She even exposes herself in plain view. She also seems to have more of an appetite. My cresteds turn color but not as dramatic as this!
