Hey guys havent been on in a while but i had a question for everyone. I got a new cage carpet yesterday, it's a green one instead the brown i normally have. My leo was checking it out alot last night so i was wondering if he can see the different color or is it just the new smell of it?

That's good question. I wonder if they could see only specifiy color. example Cats see yellow and blue and green. you know what i mean?

yea i was kind of thinking in that way too but i get the felling they can that way when they go to hide they know if they will blend in with something or not but im not positive.

I think they can see every colour except red but I could be wrong.

I don't know which colors they see - though even if they couldn't see color, it would likely be a different shade of grey.
