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.

Totally heartbroken
Okay, I was going into my room tonight to feed all the geckos. While I walking over to the crested cage I heard this weird rustling noise. When i look in I see my female crested flipping around and thrashing like crazy. Then she just stopped and now she is dead. She had like some sort of serizure. At first I though maybe the male bit her (not that he ever had before, but she was flipping out) but the male was "sleeping" peacefully in one of the hides. She just died. I'm so upset, but it's more of a confused upset. Is this common, or at least not uncommon enough for me to worry? They ate crickets and peach baby food mixed with the crested diet and I think she ate three waxworms in her entire year and a half old life.
The only upside to the whole thing is I'm getting three leos from Overton tomorrow. I guess I just needed to vent.

I'm really sorry. Usually whenever I have an animal die, my mom buries it in her garden. It helps her plants grow, which puts my mind at a little more ease.

Oh no...
Kristen, I'm so sorry! Losing one of our gentle, beloved creatures leaves such a hole in our hearts, and especially when we don't know why it happened. I hope that the new geckos you receive tomorrow will at least fill a part of that hole... my thoughts are withyou.

sorry to hear
did you add calcium to their diet? I feed crickets and CGD mixed with babyfood...at one point a female's eggs seemed undercalcified so I added some calcium to their diet...she got shakes and stiffened and was limp...luckily I was able to save her...I seperated her out, put her under UV and she ate and was fine...I stopped adding calcium and it never happened again and all is well since...sorry to hear the sad news, and I hope that they all do well in the future

I am very sorry to hear about your loss,,, I wonder why that happened. It is definitely hard to lose a pet for unknown reasons. Keep your head up, your new geckos are bound to bring you a lot of joy.
Take Care,
Nicole
