Can chameleons detect changes in the season? Spike seems to still follow the natural light cycle even though the curtains in his room are always closed.

Yes. I think they're just internally wired to know. Mine will do that as well. They start finding their sleeping spots for the nightime 2 hours before lights out in the fall vs. 30 minutes-1 hour in the summer.

Hmm kinda cool anyone know any other interesting facts about chams?

They are extremely smart. And learn. Or shall I say tend to build trust. My panthers when I first got them they didn't want anything to do with me. Now when I open the enclosure either indoor or their outdoor one they will come from wherever they are at that time and walk on my hand. No treat/worm/dubia/cricket needed. I personally feel that I created that bond with them. Now as for my veiled. Yeah he is a different one. Real butthead. But I am hard headed and keep trying different tactics and hopefully one day I will gain his trust. Yes on the internal clock. Mine do the same thing.

I have a veiled as well. He's a pain to work with when I clean or reorganize his enclosure a lot of personality that one haha

I do agree, I have a veiled as well and he is also a pain, but I love him nom the less. I would also agree chameleons are smart. Almost to smart. So they could probably detect seasons.
