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.

Black Throat Monitor shedding question
just wondering if I'm over reacting here. just got confirmation he is closer two 6 months@29 1/2 inches long and eating like a big. He is very active and tears up his cage daily.
My question is when he sheds you can see his new scales have a red to orange tinge to them in some areas. I make sure all skin is removed till he get mad and/or bites me sometimes. When my vet looked at his injured tail a (525.00) visit in conjunction with the redness he but him on some anti biotics. I was more worried about an infection getting hold of him.
Does anyone with a Black throat see the same thing when they shed. He seems to be in a constant state of shed. He was 14 inches when I got him three months ago and he has more then doubled that now and it seems he is heading for another growth spell. I soak him weekly for one hour, his basking area is 120 to 140, ambiant 84.5 cool end 80. I have him in a 75 gal tank with a modified wooden top to keep in the humidity which i keep at 65% to 75%. he also has a mix of forest mulch/lizard earth 8 inches deep. He has access to a water bowl. His enclsure and water are changed daily.

Does your black throat keep the colors after he sheds or do they go away after a while? If it is what i am thinking it is just part of his skin color. I have seen a few different Black throats that come in with red and orange color to their necks and the side of their body. It should be nothing to worry about if he is healthy and all. My black throat is always in constant shed too and she gets irritated when i have her and picking her dead skin off but its just normal.
