Question Eye Sight & Color Sight

Re in particular Savanna's

This question is specifically about eyesight, not heating at night, despite the refrences to red light heaters

So far all the info I can find is that in good light, with some UVA, they have excellent sight both long and short, but in the dark they cant see very well; nothing else has come up in my searches - and I have no way of knowing if that info is scientifically tested or just speculation because they dont hunt at night?

Do we know yet if Sav's can see color, and if there are colors it cant see?

I know that Red Lights are often used as heaters for reptiles at night so their night/day patterns are not disturbed, is it known if Sav's cant see Red light? or any other light color they cant see?

What about other monitors? anyone know of any studies into the area?
