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.

weight and breeding questions
Hi. I have a female 10 month old leo who is very fat.She has massive fat pockets behind her front legs and her tail is almost as big around as her body. She gets fed pretty much the same as her clutchmate sister except her sister also eats some crix .(The sister is not obese.) I am worried that she is too fat but don't know what to do to lower the weight on her. I had actually hoped to breed her this year but I'm afraid there would be complications caused by the obesity. Could this happen?
My other question is about incubation times to hatching. Everything I've heard or read says there's no real set incubation length.I am wondering if this is true and if not then what are those time lengths? thanks for your input .

Martha, do these two females share a tank? If so I would suggest separating them. Then you can continue to feed the one female the same while decreasing the food intake of the larger one. Having the size and weight of of them would help us to determine if they are too big or not. I have not had any complications from breeding females that are too large. In males it can cause prolapse though.
