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.

Question about Vacation
We are planning on going away for a few day for Labor Day. Abbott & Costello will be 6 weeks old Friday. They have a 55 Gal. tank they live in...I have a 20 Gal. tank that I got for them first. Since they are so young I wanted to pack them in the 20 Gal. tank and take them with me. I really don't trust anyone to feed them right while I'm gone. Do you think it would stress them too much to take them with me. Its only a 3 hr. drive from the house and they will be put in the back of the Suburban in the sun while we are driving. I'll have all their lights and heat source and timer with me to make them feel at home...but it will be a smaller tank for 3 days. Just some suggestons and openions would be great to help me decide what to do.
I'm one that packs up all the animals and take them with me...lol...I'll also be taking me STO ( short tailed possum) since she is only use to me feeding her.
Thanks
Alexa

YOU DONT WANT TO HAUL THEM IN A 20 GALLON GLASS TANK IN THE BACK OF YOUR TRUCK IN SUNLIGHT!! THEY WILL ROAST BACK THERE IN NO TIME!! instead get you a dog crate and put a towel on the bottom BUT underneath the towel put a HUMAN heating pad for warmth...knowing they r small a cat carrier woudl do just fine since the bars a a little smaller than a dog crates. I travel with mine to shows and stuff in a cat crate with the heat pad underneath the towels so the stay wartm but in the summer now since it is so hot they dont need the towel.

They won't be in the back of a Truck...Its the inside of my car... its a Suburban...a big car so it won't be in full sun...they just wouldn't be stuffed in a seat.... I do have a Cat carrier but I'll have to check to make sure the holes are not too big for them...and I do have a heating pad and a plug jack in the car so that would be no problem. I even have sun shades I can pull down if it gets too sunny but we are leaving really early in the morning.
Thanks for the reminder of the heating pad...I'll get that now and put it on my list..

I agree with danthedragonman. Even a little sun coming through your car window would heat up a glass tank VERY quickly, killing your dragons. Cat carrier is a much safer option.
