Oenpelli Python colour change.

[seanjbkorbett]

Hey Guys
Just a interesting topic i thought i would bring up.
doing a bit of reading on Oenpelli Pythons,now a few sites and books state they are able to "Change colors like a chameleon" as one article puts it .....has this ever been proven,with film or video... As i have had experience of keeping chameleons and witnessed colour change with mood and temperature..and colour change is also very apparent in gecko's, Agamids and Anoles.But i cannot imagine a python species changing colour like a Chameleon would.
..???

I think the colour change is more similar to a RSP than a chameleon! they are a brown in the day and become a silver grey after dark
