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.

Color shift
Hey everyone,
My Biak GTP is just beginning to get a few green scales speckled here and there. I am wondering if the color shift will become more evident with each shed, or if it will happen fairly quickly regardless of the shed?
Thanks

Im pretty sure it is by shed. It may take a decent amount of time. Depends on it's growth rate.

The green does not come into corelation with the shed cycle. The ontogenic color shift is totally independant. Biaks can take 6 months up to 4 years to complete the change, and often it's not a really noticable thing until it's already green. lol. Most biaks do not begin to change until around 1 year of age. It's one of the fun things about owning chondros. Let the addiction begin.

Ive heard a lot lately, or atleast read a lot concerning the ontogenic color changing. I never knew before that it wasnt with sheds, just whatever cycle their genetics decided to give them.

It's one of the great things about owning chondros. I've had them complete the change in as quick at 4 days, and my biak, which is 4.5 years old, is still changing ever so slowly. After raising up some 30+ chondros into color change, it never gets old.......especially the red babies.
