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.

Best way to house hatchlings?
What is the best way to house hatchlings? i hear you can keep them together as long as you seperate them by size. I wish i had a rack system but unfortunetly i dont. So i need some suggestions. Thanks

My biggest suggestion is invest in a rack system or buy one;-) If you are breeding your whole house will quickly be filled with tanks everywhere :-) BTW, i house every hatchling separate, alot easier to keep track of genetics, eating habbits, weights, and other things as well, as long as not having to worry about them getting bullied. Animal Plastics sells 6 qt racks which work very nicely for hatchlings, if your looking to build a rack, I might post pics of mine up later for you to check out and get the general idea on how to do it yourself ;-)

I have always kept clutchmates together and they have been fine ..... I think it makes them better socially but obviously if there's a weight problem you would be better off separating them. It's really hard without a rack I did it last year and it was a pain ! I have a rack now and I am looking forward to putting new babies in it.

It depends on how many babies you're anticipating. I have generally been keeping my hatchlings in front-opening 20L tanks divided into 3 10"x12" sections (separated by plexiglass). I keep clutchmates together but re-arrange them according to size and can house individually if indicated. I also have some of the larger faunariums and can keep 3 hatchlings in each one. This year I have three 20L divided into 3 sections and one smaller tank divided into 2 sections. I like being able to see everyone and having them able to see around them since the people I will be selling them to will most likely not have racks. Last year I produced 38 hatchlings and was able to keep them in the tanks since I was also selling steadily. This year I anticipate 55 hatchlings and did purchase a rack from someone for overflow.
