The tapetum lucidum is the reflective layer behind the retina, an adaptation for night vision, but I don't know how the reflected wave length affects color perception in the rods and cones. Nocturnal carnivores are supposed to have rod and dichromatic vision -- not sure of the latest finds in this field. I think bears have some color vision, and recall that house cats are similar.

A random thought for ya from the physicist, Codge - since color is the reflection of that wavelength back to our eyes, and thus also the absorption of the other "missing" visible wavelengths/colors, perhaps the blue-green shine is showing you a clue to their ability to see into the infrared spectrum. Evolution has shifted their vision, and the blue-green end of the visible spectrum (nearer ultraviolet) has been dropped in favor of more coverage on the infrared end. And thus their eyes now reflect back blue-green, an "un-needed" color for their vision.randomtruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01941027847362672057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527944689184796366.post-2224918932157995682014-02-11T19:33:44.655-08:002014-02-11T19:33:44.655-08:00Not sure, Henry, but I think they may have a bluis...Not sure, Henry, but I think they may have a bluish white eye shine in darkness. The are neat little critters, and no matter how bad the picture, I always get a thrill when I camera trap a weasel.

Hope you find some adult Dicamptodon -- they're good luck in my book.
