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.

The wonders of the sun
Not having experienced the summer in the states for awhile ( I seem to get stuck with Iraqi summers and N NY winters) I never had the chance to take my Oustalets and his cage outside for sun.
Well I finally realized that the sun and heat that most people are whining about is just the thing for my restless chameleon. I realized that with me tearing down my big enclosure that my yellow monitor was in also eliminated the artificial sun (2x250W bulbs) that the cage needed. So my electricity bill went down but so did the light given off from it. I think he had been trying to get to the far window and the light from it. Otherwise he had never been much of a screen climber at all. Now he is back to normal.
He is now outside for the day. Yes, part sun and part shade. I learned that lesson as a kid when mom put my turtle outside and I came home to find it baked. So far now Caesar is enjoying the short N NY summer while I start on his new cage. Bumping him form a 4'Hx2'W'2'D to a 5'Hx3'W'2'D. This brings his sqare footage up from 16 sq ft to 30 sq ft.
Just goes to show that a warm blooded creatures bad weather can be a cold blooded creatures heaven.
