My chameleon sleeps when lights are on but seems healthy?

It is absolutly the best place I found and I've looked on and off for months. This is the only place i go unless someone here was to refer me to an article etc... I can't read here. Hasn't happened yet.

Can some body (Senior member) look at the thread "my pairs first mating" in new posts and answer a couple of our questions there. There's confusion there. Please, Thanks.

This is true. He may not have issues at all and it might just be late, and low light, so the cham sleeps. But in general chameleons will stay awake as long as their is light. They don't have clocks in their heads to tell them 'hey, go to sleep, you've been up 14 hours already!'. They will stress out if the lights are on for odd time periods, say lights on 16 hours or longer.

I dont know that they dont have a good diurnal clock. I see all 15 of my chams start roosting in their sleeping spots starting 20 minutes before the lights go out.
