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.

PLEASE HELP
My leopard gecko isn't opening her eyes. after i give her a bath she opens them a little and they are murky. She hasn't eaten in weeks. Her temperatures and humidity are okay since she lives in a rack and all my other geckos are okay. I am really worried. I don't want her to die. Please help me.

Armani, can you please post photos? How old is she? Is she in a rack by herself? Where did you buy her? How long have you had her?

She won't stay still long enough to take a picture. When I bought her I wasn't given her age but she is still a juvenile. She is in a rack with 11 other geckos. I bought all of them from a man that was getting out of the reptile breeding business.

I meant, is she housed by herself in her own tub within the rack, or do you have other geckos in the tub with her? How frequently do you hold her? How long have all the geckos been in your care?

She's on her own tub. I try not to handle her that much so I don't stress her out. They have been in my care since around the 20th. Of December.

If she won't stay still for long enough for you to take a picture I wouldn't worry just yet. Have you offered her a variety of food items? Sometimes leopard geckos can be reluctant to switch. If they were on roaches to start with, mealworms don't really move enough to entice them.
Is her tail thin and wrinkly, or plump and firm? Can you see her hip bones?

I give her small super worms. That's what the previous owner offered them. I cannot feed roaches since I live in Florida and the are illegal. I recently ordered Phoenix worms for my bearded dragon. Should I offer some to her also?

Yes. Offer a variety of items and see if she'll eat them. Only certain roach species are illegal in Florida (like dubias), so there are options available for you. Try crickets with their jumping hind legs pinched off, sometimes they offer enough movement to be appetizing.

Without a picture I can't tell. Sometimes females go off feed in winter. I've had girls go off feed for about two months and they were fine, hardly lost any weight. Don't know if it's hormonal or not. If she looks healthy I wouldn't worry too much.
