A tough beardie question!

[chadwick757]

We have all heard the arguments that colored bulbs are ok for beardies because they cant see the light. However they seem to be attracted to certain colors of food. My question is do beardies have colored vision, and do we have any proof of what wavelengths they can see. This seems like a great experiment for someone and could provide hard evidence of what is best to use. Anyone have any insights or links to information?
