Wow this is a very cool idea. Wish we could do it for cresteds. Lots of debate w/ them as well. I know that exo terra sends people to do light readings around the world for there lighting systems research. Maybe we could write them and see when there next Mad. trip will be or find out what kind of UV readers they use on these trips? It would be interesting to get different readings from different groups. I'm sure the time of the year/ weather that day and other such will have a great deal of play into it as well.

Count me in for $20, If I can do more at the time I will.

This link...... Daintree Rainforest, Queensland, Australia - UVB and light recordings , provided by Frances of the UV GUIDE UK, provides us with an example of a simple but effective way to document and record our research. Give it a good look over.

Later on in the project I am going to try and get a specific company that I have in mind to donate a small, cheap, but incredibly accurate infrared temp gun, in order to get Uroplatus species body temperature data as well.

I am willing to donate $20 just let me know

Be interesting to apply the info from this to Eurydactylodes, as I am testing with them to see if UV is benficial as although they are considered nocturnal they are fairly diurnal as well.

Thanks Derek

Thank you Derek and Clint for your pledges!

As Derek has mentioned, this research could have implications in the way we think of keeping various nocturnal reptiles. Many nocturnal species have been reported to be active or basking during dusk and dawn hours, as well as sleeping with body parts exposed to filtered sunlight.

Keep those pledges coming.
