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.

Caiman problem
I have two dwarf caimans. They are only about a foot long. The one has a white mass on middle toe and the other has white patch on it's side. Is this an infection or something or is this just some scar tissue from maybe a fight between the two at night? Any guesses or suggestions..

white mass and white patch? could be an abcess or a bite wound, the patch could be the same thing or even a burn mark. hard to say without pics, either way get them to a vet, if it is an infection, they may be able to drain it and send you home with antibiotics. again its hard to say without pictures

my dwarf had a couple white spots on his tail skin about a year ago. One day he decided to go nuts whes i walked by his pen (must just been in a bad mood) and he thrashed and on the way into the water roughed his tail on a rock in the cage. He also broke on of the scutes on his back once, and it left behind a white spot.
Everything always healed up within a couple of weeks jsut fine. I made sure to clean the woulds out and every day i took him out, dried him off and put some neosporin on the tail skin wound, then let him sit in a rubbermaid without water for an hour under a basking lamp to allow the neo to do its job. I also made sure the water was pristine those couple weeks. I;m assuming your guy has a similar issue. If its actually a growing buldge or looking kinda fungus-y, i would seek a vet.
