Apparently these are very rare and after seeing pictures last year I have been on the hunt for one for a long time, I randomly went do a store called AllReptiles here in Canada (Scarborough, Ontario) and found one. I couldn't believe the bright blue colours on it and said screw it, I bought the tank, all the stuff for the inside, plus the gecko for $270CAD Taxes included...
Anyways, I turned its lights on today (picking up a timer) and I've been at home all day (normal day off for me) and its been really dark/black all day, is this just due to stress?
I usually do alot of research before buying any animal/reptile (I also have 2 normal/regular bearded dragons that are a breeding pair (hatched and sold 200+ dragons) and I have 2 panther chameleons that I will be breeding whenever the time is right to do it (not in a rush, I do this as a hobby, the $ I make from it is the last thing on my mind and the money that I do make (including profit) goes to supporting my current and future reptiles as well). The only reason I didn't do much research was because I never thought I would find one of these and bought it on impulse (something I've never done with reptiles).
I have attached a picture of it, as well as the setup
From what I've read these temps are fine:
Basking temp - 90°F-98°F
Middle area of tank - 85°F-92°F
Bottom (substrate area) - 75°F-82°F (its on the cooler side)
Humidity is mostly 70% but it hovers between 60%-80%
Here are the pics (It is now much darker, almost black. Would this be due to stress?):

I don't know a ton about these guys, but looks like you've got a good setup. You're measuring humidity levels, right?
