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.

Paludarium Questions/ Water Skink
Hi all, I am in the process of setting up a paludarium. I have a large 150g aquarium that I plan on adding some vertical height to via a custom made mdf box with screen top and lexan front as a "canopy" area. I am looking for it to possibly house a sulawesi water skink or 2 for the land portion of it. That would connect to a sloped bank deep water side with some clouded archer fish which should be native to the same geographical area. I was just wondering if they are likely to co-exist together, or if one would be dangerous to the other. I was also curious if there was any option for an arboreal frog that may live up in the canopy section that would not bother the water skink and vice versa. It has been tough finding info as the water skink seems to be relatively rare in the hobby.

I'd be very hesitant to house a WC skink with any frog, for fear of pathogen transmission; animals from different taxa and different geographic areas don't deal well with novel pathogens. Keeping species in separate enclosures is always a better care protocol.
I'd also consider some other material than MDF for any sort of humid enclosure, since even if fully sealed the slightest permeability in the coating will allow water into the MDF and destroy it. Sheet PVC would be a far better material.
