Help! Wandering cage at night

[Klyde O'Scope]

My observation with Saul--- One eye--- His blind eye moves normal and when he eats, it moves to strike position like the good eye. So would think the muscles are independent until shooting tongue... WEIRD!!!!!!!!

Muscle memory? I've noticed people who've lost their siight will look toward a speaker, while many who've been born blind keep looking straight ahead.

That was interesting to read.

Mine sits in a high activity room, with lights and tv on during the evening and sometime at night. Max half a hour after her lights turn off, she’s asleep at her sleeping spot. I think it’s like with humans, one can sleep everywhere with noise and everything, and others are light sleepers! One thing all three of my Cham have in common, is the fact they know at which point they need to get to their sleeping spot and once ’their’ lights turn off, they go to sleep.

Ol' Furface can sleep through almost anything—TV, stereo... even live bluegrass jams.
But he can snore as loud/louder than any of them.

What I do when I’m playing video games or watching TV or something and it’s time for the lights go off I’ll throw a black sheet over the chameleons cage. So it will be dark inside the cage

Is it blackout fabric? Might not be necessary, depending on the opacity of the black sheet.

Muscle memory

It’s born blind, it couldn’t be muscle memory, because there isn’t a memory about this action. Maybe it’s more mimicking / adaptation or they don’t need both eyes to aim and it’s just an automatic system, because after shooting, they close their eyes. It’s a just processed action of their brain

I was just suggesting the possibility of muscle memory, hence the ?

Since that's ruled out, my next guess (without spending an afternoon on it ) would be instinct.

I'm constantly surprised astonished by what and how much is hardwired into their little brains from birth.

Muscle memory can only comply with something you ‘teach’ your muscle. If you train your muscle every day at lets say 70% of its capacity for months in a row and then train it for 100% for weeks. you then would abrupt stop training for lets say 2 months, then the changes are after 2 months your muscles can still function at 70% of their capacity. That‘s called muscle memory, you need to teach it first before it can memorize. That should rule out, the born blind muscle theory. Hopefully I explained it a bit understandable, this was brain muscle memory and no google

Chameleons and night vision...

Interesting article but CHE do emit infra-red electromagnetic radiation

I understand that. I didn't know (or didn't see) at the time that your cham's eye was blind from birth.

I'm not following. Chameleons can see in the UV spectrum—not the IR spectrum (that I know of), so why would that matter?

The article states they can see infra red maybe shorter waves opposed too the longerwaves a CHE produces.
It also says that CHE doesn't produce IR, which it does

Why it matters is if you Google "glassblowers cataract" might be more relevant to another thread recently on eye issues

@Mountain Dragon ...have you tied covering the cage?
Do you have anything "vibrating" in your room?

Am I allowed to with a blanket or will it trap heat in? And nothing vibrating in the morning maybe a alarm clock but nothing else

Ooooh we do have a white noise maker does that do anything

 

[kinyonga]

Don't cover the screen lid ..use something light.

Does the white noise maker vibrate? Hay does it sound like?
Has it always been there?

Always been there and it just sounds like whore Noise not really vibrating

I’m not sure I want to know what that sounds like.

Wow! Autocorrect!

If it's been there then that's not the problem.
