Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Dragon with swollen toe
I noticed my dragon lifting his back leg off the floor , when I looked closer I noticed his toe had swollen up and looks sore , i would call it his thumb if that makes sense , pink or red in colour and his nail which is normaly clear has a slight black colour and the top of the nail looks like their is a bit of blood , he has been hovering his leg back left for a few days I only noticed today it had swelled Nearly double than normal. I don't no if he has done it in the viv or I have done it picking him up ? He still walks on it .
A friend told me to leave it for a couple of days and see if the swelling goes down if it doesn't give him some baytril , which I already have.
Has this happened to any body before ?
I have some medicinal honey manouka should I put some on the sore toe ?
Any advice would be good thanks

Raw honey is an excellent anti bacterial/ anti biotic, so it's great if you dilute it just a bit with warm water + apply. I've used it successfully on all minor cuts/ scrapes and even cleared a terrible eye infection that a hatchling came out of the incubator with after being scratched by other hatching babies. It was clear in 2 days after having been swollen nearly 3 - 4 times normal size. Make sure there are no insects left in the tank, they will be attracted to the honey and nibble on the toe, and of course you don't want him on a loose substrate like sand that would stick. I don't know if I would give an anti biotic like Baytril unless a vet thought it was really necessary. It doesn't sound too serious.
