Agave attenuata developed blotchy leaves

Does anyone have any ideas on this problem,it usually happens in winter when the plant comes inside,where it is about 55-60F .I don't water it in the winter at all and maybe this could be the problem.There doesn't seem to be any insects at all.I have attached a pic (Hopefully it works ok)

Strange Agave

Have a look at Agave dasyliroides,looks like a cross between an Agave & Yucca.Actually produces a small trunk with leaves that look like Agave striata,but not so prickly from what I've read.
