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.

Naming of crested geckos?
I have noticed when reading some crested gecko ads that many have cute names. I haven't seen the same in ads for bearded dragons, or ball pythons, etc.
Why is this?

Cute names as in their own names like Sir Fluffycakes or morph names like flame or harlequin?
Crestie owners loooove giving our babies cute names!  I think it's a form of insanity, with mild to extreme cases.

Haha very true. I try to stick to “cool” sounding names but I got some comments on naming one of my geckos Uruk...

Since they each have their own unique, quirky & silly personalities, it's just natural for them to have unique/quirky names, lol!

I've never thought about it, but really, only one of my cresties has a name (Bubbles), and she had it when I bought her. I have many species of geckos, and haven't named any of them. My dogs, parrots, tortoises, frogs, even my tarantula all have names. I guess being a breeder, I don't consider very many of them permanent residents. Is that terrible? I hope not.

It helps you from getting attached. Plus they come and go so fast that you can’t really decide a name based on personality so it would probably be something random anyway. I just enjoy naming things but I haven’t even named the clutch of emerald swifts that were born three weeks ago...

I've always named my pets. If I had a large collection, I would skip it, but keeping a small group lets me do it.
I can honestly say naming geckos is a great marketing technique if you are a regular on some forums. The crested community actually recognizes a lot of the nicer animals by name.
