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.

haha...yeah no kidding.....I'm trying to be real careful here....lol Chad, technically it is a deformity regardless whether the gecko can live a normal life or not...any anatomical abnormality is a deformity...however some are detrimental to health...others aren't.

what do you mean? I'm just saying that whether it is ok to breed it or not has nothing ot do with whether it is a deformity or not (I guess depending on who you are...)...it IS a deformity, like I said...any anatomical abnormality is a deformity regardless of whether it is harmful or not.

no thats a mutation not a deformity. the gene resposible for the shape of the tail, assuming its genetic, could have a genetic mutation that made it look more like a knob tailed gecko than a leopard gecko or it could be a malformed tail.
only breeding will prove that out. breeding it to a normal and than breeding the offspring back to the mother/father would prove weather or not its genetic.

it would be a mutation AND a deformity...whether it is genetic or not does not change that it is a deformity. A deformity is ANY physical malformation....not all deformities are genetic...but any abnormal physical trait caused by genetics is a deformity as well as a mutation.

well for the sake of keeping those two things seperate (genetic deformities and nongenetic deformities, as you put it) im gonna call genetic deformities "mutations" and nongenetic ones "deformities".. if thats cool with you.
