[gecko]color changing in giant day geckos

[Dana]

Hi All -

I have few Giant Day geckos, but I haven't mated any of them yet.  I 
noticed that one of the males, whose tank happens to be next to the 
female's tank was changing colors today - he was going from dark green 
to his normal lighter green color, and changing back and forth several 
times in the few minutes that I had available to watch them (I've never 
seen him do this before).  I saw that he was staring at her (I think), 
and I am wondering if this changing of color was because he was 
attracted to her or was it territorial?  I am inclined to think it was 
territorial because he turned a dark color, which they do when they are 
stressed, but I really have no idea.  Any thoughts from anyone?  I 
really appreciate any feedback.

Thanks,
Dana
