Dark Color

dude21 Jan 28, 2004 07:04 PM

When I bought my 2 leo's they were much brighter then they are now, they have a darker dull color to them. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong. I use a heat pad for heat and the correct vitamins. I do not use any type of lights. Any suggestions would be very helpful

Thank you

Geckos tend to Lighten/Darken with age. Nothing is wrong with them. I would, however, check the temperatures because I know that Blizzards/Patternless get darker if it is excessively hot or cold.

About 90* on the warm end and 70* on the cooler end.
