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.

strange deaths any advice??
Well all my dragons are off the market for at least 6 months...
yesterday I went to do my normal morning clean and feed and found two dead dragons. In different tanks. One of my young juv in the juv tank and one of my big adults.
I was so upset and I had/ have no idea what happened
so my adult he regurged the day before he passed but no other symtems. all my dragons are de wormed ever 6 months
the juv was fine no symptoms at all just passed
juv and adult have had no contact except for me and in same room does RU spread like that and quick
all dragons eating dringking and pooping well
temps same and good.
first I thought it was the food i have just got a new shippment of worms
so i went to the vet with all 12 of my guys and he examined them and all he could find was that two sounded like they were haveing a little wraspy breathing and he said they should all be treated for respitory infection. My temps are nice and hot and the only water in there cages is there water bowls so not to high of humidity
so could one dragon have came in with respitoy and passed it to the others is it contagous like a cold?
and also have any of you heard of any new bugs going around that present themselves like this that I should be worried about.
I am a totally worry wort I pulled all cages apart bleached everything and have them all on batryl oral for 7 days per vet orders
please dont say anything bad I love my dragons and feed and care for them twice a day I had no idea anything was wrong and this cam aw a total shock. I am so sad and just want to make sure I am doing all I should be to treat my babies and make sure they go back to a full recovery
any advice is much needed thanks

I have a ? Do you have sand or particle substrate in there cages. Is there a way they could have inhaled some toxic substance like cigarette smoke or so other type of "bad air" I am not trying to imply anything just trying to help you out. As far a throwing up in the older one have you ever seen that dragon drink from the water bowls, cause Awhile back I had a young girl doing the same but aftr being soaked and drank some then had no problem. let me know so I can help more.

Bring them to a vet to get a necropsy. Only way you will get definitive answers.

With the deaths happening in two different tanks it could be contaminated food bugs.
It looks like you have gone all out to see what killed them, good for you. I hope that the rest of them stay healthy, and I'm sorry for your loss.
