Don't forget, it gets very cool in the desert early and late in the seasons. I live in central Illinois and keep my lizards outside for the summer. It's been 48 at night for a few nights now. My lizards just snuggle up and don't come out. The don't come out, they don't eat, they don't drink. No worries. They were designed to withstand pretty poor conditions. That's part of the reason why petstores sell so many :P

Worry about the hurricane!!! Not the lizards LOL

Okay, thanks! ^_^ I forgot about the whole desert temperature things... Heh. *blush*

Nothing yet though, so I think I can stop worrying.

I know how you feel. Lightning must've struck my house or some electrical complex and turned off all the lights. My collareds lights didn't come on for around another half hour. So,I took all the collareds out and let them run around. They seemed to be interested and always went to the window. After meddling with the lights they snapped back on.
So hopefully nothing bad happens there.
