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.

Dart frogs and Mountain Horned Lizard together?
We decided to move away from a frilled lizard for our new tank because it would get too big, too fast. We are now setting up the tank with a large water feature and waterfall and we are trying to get a list of 'stock' that we are going to put in it.
So far, we have the mountain horned lizard and some small guppies in the 'pond'. We are also considering some type of freshwater crab for cleanup. However, we have really thought about a dart frog or 2. Anyone know if this would be safe with the lizard?
Thanks!

Dart frogs are challenging enough without using them as living props in some mixed species "display".
Mountain horned lizards are typically WC and (even if CB) would be a serious risk of transmitting novel parasites to the immunologically naive frogs.
The habitat requirements for those lizards and darts overlap only in the very slightest.

Thanks for the information! We are getting a CB lizard, but thanks to your advice, we will not be putting any dart frogs into the display.
Anything you would recommend putting in there? We know we will have guppies in the water feature but that is all we have right now.

No. I'm certain that the lizard will do best if it is the only animal in the enclosure.

Thank you! Have a nice night and thanks again for the advice. I grew up keeping snakes and quit awhile back. Decided to get back into reptiles and decided to go the lizard route this time but I know a lot less about lizards than I do about snakes!
