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.

aquarium decor for reptiles
I am asking all of you if or can I use aquarium decor inside a reptile tank for a bearded dragon. I have gotten mixed reviews from everyone :/ They talk about the fixtures melting possibley under the basking spot and toxins killing the lizard.

I guess it would depend on the type. If it's made of mainly plastics, then I would maybe just put it at the cool end of the tank. If it's made of heavy rocks or wood that a beardie wouldn't be able to knock over, then I could see you using it on the hot end for basking or climbing.

Hey Mariano,
Any chance you can find a link to specific pieces of aquarium decor your interested in using?
Plastic melting points are generally quite high, and those made of resin material in general aren't going to be experiencing temperature extremes under a basking light that would cause them to melt as well; assuming the point of the piece closest to the light is also the hottest/basking point. I've not personally heard of any deaths by intoxication by these items (not saying it isn't possible) but if you would really like to be safe - perhaps consider pieces specifcally made for reptiles. Or, you can use wood, rocks, pavers, bricks, etc for cage decor... just disinfect them properly and safely before adding them to the enclosure = )
Quite a few suppliers sell nice looking molded pieces and driftwood fashioned in different sizes and shapes.
