Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has done a controlled test on Artificial vs Natural lighting? Previously I raised my hatchlings under artificial light and had maybe 10-20% of the clutch be quite bright and colourful. This year however I'm raising all my hatchlings under natural sunlight and most/all of the are (in my opinion) really brightly coloured. I know Rick Walker does his beardies outside and he consistently has many bright red beardies. I know genetics plays a big role but I wonder how much environmental conditions play out in developing colours? If anyone has done any comparative tests I'd love to hear about them.
