Light Reflectors

[AmandaS]

So, my chameleon realized she can see herself in the reflectors of the lights, since essentially it is a mirror. She has been stress colors for days. What am I to do?

 

[Beman]

Tell her to stop comparing herself to the cham in the mirror and she is perfect just the way she is.

Ok now really I have no clue. are you sure it is the reflectors? Nothing has changed in her cage or in the room?

 

[AmandaS]

Nothing has changed, and I have seen her looking at them a lot recently.
So no, Im not sure, but that is my best guess.

Does it seem to be bothering her? Puffing up, etc?

 

[Beman]

I dunno hun. The way Beman's T5 is you really can not get a clear reflection back. I have no experience with this type of thing.

Can you add some aluminum foil , so it won’t reflect?

 

[The Wild One]

I know that Coda is for some reason EXTREMELY interested in her dripper, specifically the water droplets. She will go for hours just staring at the water. I have no idea why. Maybe it’s like a child addicted to TV?

 

[AmandaS]

She does puff up when she is looking at herself. Yeah, i think i could up some aluminum foil.
I think she can see herself better since the back bulb went out. When I replace it, I dont think it will show her as well. Until then, aluminum foil sounds good.

 

[AmandaS]

She gives some beautiful colors.

Ohhhhhh ok now I get how she can see herself lol. Makes sense. I was staring at mine like I don't understand how can she see herself. LOL but if his bulb was out then he would be able to see a reflection in his as well.

 

[kinyonga]

Be very careful using aluminum foil...if it touches the fixture where the bulb screws in or metal part of the bulb you might get a very bad shock.

 

[kinyonga]

Do you have an egglaying container in her cage?

 

[AmandaS]

Do you have an egglaying container in her cage?

Yes, permanently. And it's probably getting close to that time..

 

[AmandaS]

You would think, since I have a 6 foot light with staggered bulbs, she couldve seen herself before the bulb went out. Thats why I didnt think of this at first. But maybe that busted bulb gave her just enough glare-free zone to see her beautiful self. Lol.
I have seen her obviously puff at herself though. Ill let you guys know today how it goes covering it.

If its not pitch black, harry could see himself in the reflector. He never had a problem with it on. Personally i would try angle it a bit so that they cant see a direct reflection, it only takes a few degrees till you cant see yourself in a mirror at that distance.

Thats probably the best solution yet. Thanks.

Tilting the lights is better. Thanks.
