Dark side of the moon

I belief we’ve talked about this @kinyonga, but I can’t find the thread where we discussed it. It was something you shared about sleeping colors. Finally I got a cool picture from it, and this is no shade or strange lights angle. This Bella going to sleep right now, with no lights burning. Left side dark and right side pj bright, I love these creatures for their uniqueness

Yup my cham does this noticeabley too!

Beautiful! My Cham turns light pale green when he’s sleeping. I think it shows that they’re relaxed and content.

A little secret, this was the first time during her going to sleep. This is her now actually sleeping and relocated in the main time. Have noticed differential coloring during basking, but never where able to capture it on camera.

She’s lovely!

 

[Sonny13]

Thank you …..but she’s going into her second receptive phase, since this week. The horror for all female cham keepers
Hopefully the second, as everyone says, goes easier because they know how to do it

 

[kinyonga]

I don't know where we would have discussed it either.
I've definitely seen them "do" one half dark and one half light too.
They definitely have quirks!

I believe it was an article about why they get bright colors during sleeping, while they get extremely exposed doing that, it was pretty interesting.

I’m going to go google it
