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.

Need help with first leopard gecko!
Hello, this is my first leopard gecko I have owned. I have had him for about 2 weeks. He is housed in a 10 gallon aquarium, for heat I am using a spot lamp with a 60 watt bulb. He has 2 rocks with holes for hiding in. The heat is maintained at 88-90 during the day and stays at 70-72 at night time. The problem I am having is he is constantly hiding, even at night time he is stayng inside the rock. Wen it is time for him to eat he waits for the crickets to wander inside his hiding spot. The only time he leaves his hiding spot is to poop and drink water. Am I doing something wrong???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds very normal to me. Just give him some time to get used to his new home. Leopard geckos are actually quite adventuresome, he might actually be roaming about and checking out his tank while you're not looking.
Also is the entire tank 70 degrees at night? That's kinda cold IMO, might want to get a heat pad or a infrared lamp to keep the warm side at least 80 deg F.

I second that , get some flexwatt or a heatpad. Try www.beanfarm.com or www.herpsupplies.com . My ambiant room temps never drop below 75 degrees. Also make sure you have a dimmer or thermostat on the heat pad and some thermometers.
