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.

Worried.
i recently have gotten a mali baby who's adorable. however, i was informed that when he was younger he was without a UVA/UVB light for some time and now he appears to have temporarily paralized back legs. i really want him to get better...i've been told a few things i can do, but if anyone else has experienced this and has some insight for me that would be great. i want him to be a happy and healthy little guy. thanks.

Lynsey,
I regret to hear of your pets' problem. I have a few questions. What does its diet consist of? When was the last time he had a bowel movement? Could you expand upon your setup, that is to say, size of tank, substrate used, temps at the basking spot, ambient temp and cool end temps.
Best regards,
Carson Grindstaff

Your pet is displaying symptoms of a calcium deficientcy. The lack of UVB has caused a defiencty of vitamin D which has caused him to absorb calcium less efficiently. Get him a Zoo Med Reptisun UV bulb, or another one that emitts UVB and UVA such as EXO TERRA Reptiglow quickly. Feed him lots of chopped dandelions and water cress ( these are high in calcium, low in phosphates) and sprinkle his food with calcium carbonate supplement 3 times a week and a reptile multivitamin once a week. Do not offer fruit etc. too much just get him eating the high calcium dandeions and water cress. I hope this will work for him and that he will pull through. Get a Vet opinion also.
