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.

Prickly Pear Powder for Beardie?
I found a place that sells prickly pear pads (the leaves after they've been skinned and de-spined) and red prickly pear fruit that is purred/crushed then dehydrated to form a powder. It's a food grade product meant for adding to smoothies, protein shakes, making your own cactus water, etc. The prickly pear fruit contains only the fruit and some organic brown rice powder to prevent it from caking (bearded dragons may have some cooked rice). The prickly pear pads/leaves are 100% with no additives. The prickly pear plant is a staple of a wild bearded dragon's diet and it can be given to a pet captive bearded dragon of any size daily. Getting both the fruit and the leaves of this spineless padded cactus is both difficult and expensive (those shipping charges add up quick and there's no place local to me to get it). I was wondering if I could purchase the powder of the fruit and/or the pads then just mix it into a paste with a little water to feed to my bearded dragon (1-2Xweekly)? Similar to what you would do with Repashy or Pangea Crested Gecko Diet. Speaking of crested geckos could my crestie eat some of the powdered prickly pear fruit once I made it into a paste like her commercial powdered diet? They are fruit and nectar eaters by nature. I'm sure the dubia colony would gladly accept any uneaten paste mixture that the lizards didn't eat.
On the subject of bearded dragon food I read somewhere that they can have chopped earthworms occasionally. Is that true? And are red wigglers okay as well or just earthworms? Purchased from a pet supply shop of course not a bait store.
