 Changing Colors?

Is it normal for gecko’s to lighten and darken? I know that it didn’t shed its skin. This morning he was much brighter and his stripes were much darker. Yesterday he was kind of a tan color and his stripes were barely visible. There is no skin in the tank anywhere! What happened?

All lizards generally have a lighter phase and a darker phase, so yes it’s normal. It can be caused by many different factors, ranging from stress, to level of activity, humidity/temperature, to the introduction of a mate.
