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.

help dragons skin is coming off not a shed
I have a rescued dragon I got almost 2 weeks ago its in bad shape I got it its getting a little fatter but not much. the person said its over 2 years old and her son had it but didn't take care of it she got it out of his apt after he got put in jail. The skin is coming off at elbows, knees, and hip and front legs where it moves a lot and its white under it, its not a normal shed I know that. his spikes are very soft and not hard like my other dragon. I been giving kale, collard greens and spring mix and taking spinach out. And every other day dubia roaches with calcium d3 powder. There was a few times he threw it up after a hour or so, He's very dark and bad looking I feel bad for him. I spray him once a day and his basking areas at 95-97 and cool side is 78-80 and uva/uvb light, I do a 12 hour cycle and night time temps are around 75 I have a top of the line raytek temp gun to check temps on all my reptiles. Is his skin too dry or is it from poor care from other owner? I want to make him as happy as can be when I first got him they had him in a 20 h tank and barley moving and he will only eat smaller roaches too. They only fed him dried crickets and mealworm and greens a few times a month. What can I do to prevent his skin from falling off? Thanks

I ended up soaking him cause he was going crazy in water dish and peeling skin off of him he's very light colored I guess don't know what kind he is but know his new skin is almost white with yellow tones to it. I been slowly peeling skin off with tweezers and he's loving it the skin is so thick compered to my other dragon when he sheds. I hope he feels better now.

So sad to see a dragon in this condition, it is sitting on deaths door. You have got to get it to a vet to start it on injectable fluids and possibly more. soaking every day will help, it will probably lower its head into the water and drink. do not peel the shed skin off,it will fall off when its time.

You should be feeding small amounts of food, you need to build it up slowly. if you try to fatten it up fast it will start regurging the food. at the vets they will do a fecal because it looks like there is parasite problems. dragons are very hardy and this 1 is worth treating and nursing back to good health.
