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.

basic leopard tortoise questions
I have a leopard tortoise. he/she is a little over a year old. now there are reptile shows coming upp in my area in September, and I plan to get another hatchling leopard or a African spurred. so question 1. can I mix a hatchling with a slightly larger tortoise? can I mix African spurred? I know not to mix but they are so similar that I thought it may be ok. and I am keeping my current leopard in a wooden cage. when should I move he/she outside?

I dont see any real issue keeping them together so long as they are the same size. Also keep in mind males will eventually fight, I think mixing between an african spurred with leopards, zoo's have been doing that for years. I wouldnt recommend keeping hatchlings outside until they reach 1 year of age.

You should quarantine any new animals prior to introducing them to your current ones. After a quarantine, two leopards should be able to live together. I would not mix a sulcata with a leopard, sulcata are more aggressive and your leopard will suffer, at least from stress, at worst a fatal wound.
