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.

Giant Day Geckos (Phelsuma grandis)
Does anyone know where i can find wild populations of Giant Day geckos in south FL? I have been told Broward, Miami/Dade, and in the Keys, but where specifically? Just looking for a little direction, any advice is good advice. Thanks.

Phelsuma grandis in the keys are far and few these days unfortunately. They were so heavily collected for so many years, the few populations that exist are usually on private property. The locals are also very fond of them so collecting them can get touchy with some people down there. Dolphin research center use to be a good spot but the employees freak out if you catch any. I've heard some claim there native.... Those people are obviously kooks that are non well informed of what's actually native. I will say some spots have some absolutely amazing geckos if you can get them. It may take a few trips down there but if you try hard enough you should at least see a couple. Take a bike and ride around on warm eve's and look slow in the keys they have been found. Also trees in fruit or flower like plams and pandanus attract them. They love lickng up the nectar.
Hope this helps Tom. In about month the youngsters should start popping up. There by far the easiest to catch and acclimate quickly.
