Pigment Translocation?

Looking for something about "Pigment Translocation" in reptiles and speicially in snakes,please help me about this. A site ref, Researcher mail, or a pdf file.

Pigment Translocation?
This article )http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn94... is about the snake discovered in Borneo. If you search for 'chameleon snake' on yahoo, you'll get a lot of versions of this same story.





This wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatopho... talks about pigment translocation, aka physiological color change. You might be able to find a good journal article in the references at the end.





The guy who wrote this article (https://notes.utk.edu/bio/greenberg.nsf/... is studying reptile color change in response to stress. His article, and the ones in his references might help you.





Hope one of those helps!
