There are several (I think good; YMMV) reasons I sometimes answer a question with a search link.
It's evolved into a writing style thing with me. I just made a note to myself to try & find the write-up. ?
It almost always starts that way. Sometimes it's just difficult to choose. Believe it or don't, my intent is to be more thorough & inclusive, and let the reader decide for themselves. Can't please all the people all the time....You do make valid points at times, it is just frustrating to click a link an it is just a search. Now a link to a specific page with thoughts and questions I fully support that.
Hmm... I thought I was differentiating (I can see now, not well enough), e.g.:You do make valid points at times, it is just frustrating to click a link an it is just a search. Now a link to a specific page with thoughts and questions I fully support that.
I always thought it was directly related to stress, heat regulation, even showing their dominance or feelings through their color display. When they sleep they do not do these things so their colors become lighter. They stop regulating temps and stop being concerned about warding others off when they sleep. So we get their lighter pj's instead.
Interesting I never knew that!While it’s not regulating temps I think the lighter colours help them to retain heat longer at night. Light coloured objects lose heat slower then dark coloured objects.
