Hi,
I have a Rudis Chameleon that i got a few days ago. She is in a screened cage. She gets misted a 2/3 times a day and has a drip system. She has been eating well, and moves around. However, she seems to get dark very often. When I turn the lights on in the morning, (UV and heat) she gets dark and usually spends time near the heat source. However, at night she goes green (even though its dark, I can still see her colour. When I turn the lights on in the morning she is light green, but slowly gets darker within a few minutes. I'd guess that she is not warm enough, and tries to heat up during the day. But the bulb is 100 Watts... and even so, why would she go light when it's cooler and the lights are off... shouldn't she become dark, trying to get more heat.
Thanks
