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.

Hi,
I believe that stress from handling as well as mating are often causes of stress. The stress of handling (I think) is more often seen in younger leos.

A good fright as well....I know with fat tails its the case anyway....
I just about died when I was cleaning the tank one day and accidently knocked a candle holder into it right next to my male white stripe and he dropped his tail... pretty traumitizing for all involved. He is fine now, tail regrown and he's spunkier than ever....
The thing is, it never even hit him,just landed next to him....

A good scare for sure, Ive only had 1 baby drop the tail and it was when I misted her the first time, must have scared her, she went one way and her tail the other.
I have 2 females that the male bit off the tip of the tail when mating.

I didnt know just something scaring them. I think Ive gotten lucky with Turbo. I was moving something in his cage, and touched the light. I got a burn and the light popped. He freaked lol I got him out before he touched any glass and cleaned his tank.
The last time I misted him, he was hilarious. He would jump and try to bite the water...
Im gonna tell hubby to be easier when he picks him up too. I dont think Turbo likes him and I dont want him to drop his tail if he gets scared from my hubby....
