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.

urgent help needed
Have a 14 month old rankins dragon, she hasnt eaten for the past four days, am starting to get a little worried as she has been a good eater in the past. Recently she has only been eating wax worms and very little veg and was quite content with them. now she wont even bother and she is realy lethargic. any advice would be greatly appreciated. cheers

Could she be trying to brumate? Also what are your temps and does she have UV lighting?

Definately ready to brumate
She needs to be brumated. Rankin's brumate more readily than normal bearded dragons. They also brumate younger. They start at 5 months. They will do this whether you want them to or not. In about 2 to 3 months you can bring her out and she will start eating like a little pig. I just brought all of mine out.

her daytime temp is aprox 30 deg C and at night around 22 deg C. she has a UV light source with tube that is only 3 weeks old. Took her to the vets and he said that it could be constipation but that he was not a reptile specialist. he gave me some liquid parafin to give to her 1ml per day for three days. he said that if the symptoms dont go away i have to take her to the vets near to newquay zoo as they have a reptile specialist.
if she is brumating then what do i have do do to prepair for this and how should i alter the conditions so as to reduce the stress that her body is going through? cheers for the help guys it is most appreciated.
