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.

Draco volans (Flying Dragons)
Well, I'm happy to say that I think this is the year I'm finally going to establish a group of Dracos!!! On Friday I hand-picked some Dracos at a local importers, I usually would have to order them sight unseen from FL. Crap would usually arrive, and I would start to have problems to then tackle from the start. Seems like this time I have 12 (2.10) Draco volans that are going to survive without a problem! Each one is eating and drinking up a storm. Not to mention how active they are. Constently giving wing/dewlap "signals" to each other and jumping all around the branches. I currently have them seperated out in 10 gallon aquariums, but I think I'll move them into large screen cages as time goes on. Several of the females are currently gravid, and I did see one scratch around in the peat moss this morning. Looks like I'll be getting some eggs soon! Have my hands crossed that they are fertile. I've been working with this genus for quite some time, and each year I've gotten closer to establishing these guys! Hopefully I'll pick a few more up short, including more males. I wasn't too sure on the species, but I keyed them out to Draco volans. I'll post pics and more info as it comes along.
Thanks
Justyn

I doubt I'll let any babies go until I get a colony of about 350 breeding adults going. Sounds high, but I really want to establish these guys in captivity before I sell any of them off.
Thanks

They are difficult to keep, but I believe that if you start out with healthy CBB specimens they will prove extremely easy to keep and breed. Only time will tell! I currently have nine eggs in the incubator and several more females will lay shortly. The next trick is inubation, and after that, successfully raising the newborn dracos to sexual maturity.
