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.

Stuck on what to put in it
I have an age old problem I'm sure we've all had- empty tank syndrome. I have an empty ten gallon tank, with a UVB bulb and fixture, dome lamp, etc... any suggestions on what I should put in it? I want something that can stay in a ten gallon its whole life, since i have a few animals already waiting to outgrow their current tanks and be upgraded, and i also want something i dont already have (i have 6 leos, a beardie, a savannah, a hog island boa, a crested gecko, and a lil anole). so anyone have any suggestions? frogs, lizards, snakes, anything

Vince,
You got me excited there for a minute, lol. I was like, a turtle?? that can stay in a ten gallon forever? awesome! A turtle would be cool, or even a baby tortoise, but i would rather have something that i wont have to worry about upgrading. Thanks for the suggestion though! Maybe I will get a pacman frog or something....

There is a large variety of herps you could keep in a 10 gallon tank. Turtles, lizards, snakes, newts, salamanders, frogs, toads could all be kept successfully. Some good choices than those already suggested might be:
Red Spotted Newts (up to 4 of them maybe even 5 of them)
American Toad (1 or 2 of these or a similar sized toad)
Mantella Frogs
Dart/Arrow Frogs
African Underwater Frog (the smaller variety)
Green Frog (or similar sized or smaller primarily water frog)
Spotted Salamander (or similar sized choice)
Mud Turtle or Musk Turtle (smaller variety)
Anoles (up to 2 but 1 would be better)
Small Gecko species
Rubber Boa (great sized snake for this size tank)
Sand Boa
With the exception of the Mantella and Dart/Arrow Frogs, all are fairly easy to keep. All can live their whole life, with room to spare, in a 10 gallon sized tank. There are lots of other possibilities, and lots of them are probably better choices than the all to ready to bite Pac-Man frog of which you are thinking.
Good luck,
Glenn B

Glenn, can you elaborate a bit more on some of the small gecko species? I too have an empty 10 gallon tank, and love geckos. Easy to care for is preferred, as I stay busy as is...
Thanks!
