Quick Cham Question

[terrahm]

So I have those LED strip lights in my room that you see twitch streamers or gamer rooms have, i’ll insert a picture, and I wanted to know if this hurts my chams eyes or not? I noticed when I put them super bright or on colors like purple or blue he gets his scared spots and starts running around, do they see LED or certain colors differently than we do?

I think you are kind of answering your own question. I don't think colored lights are good but the fact that they upsetting your cham well what else can I say

Yeah, if there is a notable effect on your cham, I would knock it off

Glad you asked the question since chameleons do use visual colors to communicate their moods. Usually dark being stress or super bright being anger (fired up)... Back in the day, I was told lizards don't see the color red. Well, then why did my monitor, beardy chase a red laser? My frogs and toads will even try to eat the light too... Good call to ask.

Yes chameleons see the world differently than we do . I've even read that without the proper lighting they don't see a full range of color.
