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.

Desert Spiny Diet
I've got a new desert spiny. It came from the dairy at the Lompoc penitentiary. This is considerably out of range (the prison is in coastal central California). The dairy has a truck that delivers milk to Arizona, and the only explanation of her appearance (she's a full size adult) that I can think of is that she some how got on board and hitched a ride back. I'm well versed in spiny lizard care (caging, temps etc), but I know that they are reputed to take some vegtable matter. If anyone keeps these, how much if any plant material do they take, and if they take veggies, what are their favorites?

I think that you have my guy confused with horned lizards (Phrynosoma spp.). You can have keep horned lizards in California, but only the desert (P. platyrhinos) and short-horned (P. douglassii) species; horned lizards do require a diet consisting predominantly of ants. The lizard I have is a desert spiny lizard, Sceloporus magister. In California, you are allowed to have two of each of the above species in your possession at a time. Spiny lizards typically take a wide variety of insect prey and some are also reputed to take some plant material.
