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.

egg identification
this is a question for the breeders of large numbers of geckos that keep many clutches in one container in the incubator. if two or more babies hatch on any given day, how do u know which egg and therefore which parent the hatchling belongs to?

The way I do it is like this. Each female gets her own peice of tuperware for the season. Her eggs and only her egs will go into that container. There is no chance for a mix up this way.
In the male incubator I do it a little differently. I have several containers. I rotate through them. The first eggs to be incubated for male go into a container. The next set go into a new container. I do not put eggs into a previously used container for at least 2 weeks. This leaves no chance for different clutches hatching on the same day. All clutches in a container are at least 2 weeks apart. I use much smaller containers for the males because using this method I usually only have 4 eggs in a container at any given time.

I mark the date and a letter for the female they came from and only put eggs from a specific group in each conatiner. Like my LVPA 1.2 the eggs are int he same conatiner but they are marked and were laid on different days. If they did happen to hatch the same day from 2 females of that group Id be at odds too.

I incubate each clutch in a seperate container (deli cup) so that there is no chance I will get them mixed up.

Me too. Lids are marked with the lay date and parent IDs for record keeping purposes.
