Actually the information we found said that most leopard geckos sold in pet stores are female for some reason.On this particular the weather was a bit chilly and I noticed that Polly seemed a bit pale and was not moving very much. I mentioned to Asher that she might be cold, so he went and got her and tried to snuggle with her for awhile to help her get warm. He is so sweet. My plan was to just turn up the thermostat, but he wanted Polly to feel better right away. Well, lizards don't snuggle too well, so Polly ended up on his head. But I thought is was a endearing moment and I took some pictures.
In this picture you can really see just how pale she was. She is normally a bright orange and black, not ashy looking at all.

Oh, wow, she does look pale. Geckos (and most reptiles) are supposed to have a light over them with a red bulb for night time. Our "room temperature" is too cold for them. I would put the light to one side of the tank/cage so that she is able to move away from it if she gets too warm. You're going to have to get one eventually or it will get sick and die, so go get one!!!!!!
She was particularly cold that day and thankfully has not looked that pale since then.
But I have been thinking about getting a heat lamp anyway because I want to provide the best enviroment that I can for her.
