Hehe. No, they don't like bright lights of any kind. They're crepuscular (active at dawn and dusk), by nature, and the albinos are even more sensitive to light. But, it won't hurt them, as long as you don't let them get sunburnt.

If I say "You're welcome!", now, does that count?

Actually I always thought they were nocturnal until I visited a friend/breeder I knew and then he told me they were crepuscular. Which is pretty awsome.

Yeah I didn't have them out for 10 minutes, none of my reptiles get to go outside very much or very long. They're all hermits .

They were real wusses about it though, I have lots of nocturnal/crepuscular animals and none of them are quiet so dramatic about sunlight .

Yep, I thought the same thing. But, as you found out, they really are phobic about light. My male absolutely won't come out of his cave when the lights are on.

I never took mine outside. Even my chameleon has to make do with electric UV. She doesn't seem to mind.

Oh..well you know most of the herps I have, what are you packing -lol- ?

Oh, not much, these days. Just a pair of ordinary leopard gecks and the chameleon. I used to breed quite a few species of snakes and geckos, but that was some time ago. I actually got burnt out on them to the point that, while I still loved them, I didn't want to keep any. But leppy gecks have always been one of my faves, and I always wanted a chameleon, but just never got around to getting one.

Well I am really sad to hear that.

I sure hope it doesn't happen to me, but no one is out of reach.

Everyone I bring over are weary of most of my animals except the Leopard Geckos. I really haven't met someone who doesn't like them and I just love them to little bits. I have a total of 12 of them and I have the best time watching them eat and go about their daily habits.

My mom has been wanting me to get a Chameleon but most people I talk to say they are hard to keep than amphibians and don't even ask what happens when I try to keep amphibians...I stay faaaar away and they are darn happy with that fact too .

My response to this got so long I decided to send it in a note, instead. Don't let me bum you out.

12 leppy gecks is a good colony, and yeah, they are fun to watch. That's why I like them, too.

Chameleons vary tremendously in the level of difficulty of keeping them healthy. The bad rep they have is mostly due to the fact that, in the early days, they mostly imported the more delicate ones, like Jackson's, and didn't treat them very well in shipping. So, they were generally half dead by the time people bought them. Veileds are pretty hardy, and I haven't had any difficulty with mine other than having to force feed her some calcium slurry when she was still about two inches long. Of course, she still hasn't forgiven me for that. Oh, and I finally took some pics of her, this morning. Haven't seen them, yet, but maybe I'll get something worth uploading, tonight.

I haven't kept many amphibians. I had a couple toads, and some salamanders, but that's about it. One of the toads, I can't remember if it was a Spadefoot or just a plain American toad, had the most surprisingly beautiful call. He'd sometimes call when I "rained" on him. He also had incredibly beautiful golden eyes.

Hmm. This is pretty long, too. Sorry.
