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.

Metabolic bone disease (already knew that) and Cryptosporidium.
He is on treatment now but this opens up a whole #%$load of problems. I now have to keep a close eye on all the critters.

He is on treatment (which probably will not work) and I am using full strength ammonia to clean everything he came in contact with.
This now opens up a whole #%$load of problems. I now have to keep a close eye on all the critters. I am now afraid of what might happen with the other animals I have.
I brought him home instead of euthanizing him but am now second guessing that.

I'm so sorry, Steve. Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge, crypto is always fatal in Leopard Geckos. I don't believe it is easily transmitted casually... mostly via oral/fecal contamination. Your other reptiles should be OK as long as they didn't have any contact with shared enclosures, water bowls, etc.

No contact with any other animals. I still worry though.
Supposedly this stuff Alinia works and kills C. serpentis.

I've heard of crypto being treated, but only through a long, long road. Good luck, SPJ. Best wishes.

I am so sorry about your little leo.  Sounds like you are giving him the only chance at life he may have so good luck. I hope things work out and he recovers. I also hope all your other critters are okay too.
