Yup you right, almost blind at night so they sleep, exceptionally sharp daylight vision, brain on walkabout....sorry!

What I was going to mention, we have much larger number of skinks and blou-koppies vying for territory in the garden, have not seen a chameleon in over ten years, possible reason for them not being around, also heavy traffic and development now on our doorstep.

Thinking about it, we have not had mongoose in about the same number of years, they used to come into the garden when passing through the area.
