r0b3y Enthusiast Posts: 261 Kudos: 262 Votes: 41 Registered: 07-Nov-2004	i was reading this in an article on Bns just before.. "Another thing I have noticed is that their colour changes depending on the situation, like when they are in the dark, they tend to get lighter. The male is usually harder to find, as he gets much lighter and his spots go sort of "blotchy," while the female is a glorious deep dark brown. Dad does go dark also once he’s been out and about for a while. I always think of it as though they have just "gotten a tan," but it is definitely mood related, and perhaps it could be some indication of spawning" Last edited by r0b3y at 01-Jul-2005 07:16
