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.

Has anything like this happened with anybody else?
Okay so I house to females to a 5x3x3 cage and I have two girls in particular that have gotten to be unfriendly with one another. It is one girl that is gravid and the other is not the gravid girl will see the other come out from the hide (a bottom half of a box with a door cut out) and she runs up to the basking spot bobs her head runs down and tries to bite the back of her neck. This sounds like a male behavior but I know for a fact niether of them are for they have both laid before. Any suggestions, they have never had problems till now and the amount of food they get is not a problem I feed them till they do not want to eat any more.
Thanks
OEdwards

In mating season I found that if a female is gravid or wanting to breed she will display as a male! Its a desire to breed the animal instinct will often cause mounting, head bobbing, and neck bitting. I overtime have made the choice to not house female together due to aggression during thier cycles. It may just be that they are very grown females that need thier space now. Dominance is in thier nature Liz tried to eat/kill (not sure wich) Cleo this year after being house together for almost a year! So just to be safe i would seperate them before they hurt each other, Good Luck!!

I thought about keeping my girls together when they grow up, but I think I'll keep em separate.
