Foà Journal of Experimental Biology 2010 v213: p2048-2054; doi: 10.1242/jeb.040246 More details here Antagonistic chromatic mechanisms in photoreceptors of the parietal eye of lizards. Solessio, E. and Engbretson, G. A. Nature 364, p442-p445. Electroretinogram of the parietal eye of lizards: Photoreceptors, glial, and lens cell contributions. Solessio, E. and Engbretson, G. A. Visual Neurosci. 16, p895-907. I am yet to see any substantive evidence to the contrary that a bright overhead light is needed for pet dragons . Anyone can readily observe the way lizards orientate themselves when basking under the natural sun or in a tank under an basking globe. [/QUOTE]
