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.

Missing Leg Tank Setup
I am receiving a southern leopard frog with a missing leg on Tuesday and I am trying to figure out how to set up his tank. Should I give him a shallow water area to make it easier for him to get in and out and have few things in his tank so he doesn't have issues with trying to climb over anything? Or should I give him a deeper water area and more hides and cork bark and such and go from there after watching him for a while to see how he gets around?

I once found a Northern Leopard frog with a missing hind leg. It was scrawny and nearly dead, so I brought it home.
I set it up in a planted vivarium with a small water dish. I put smooth rocks in the water dish so that it could easily get in and out. I was worried that it would drown in deeper water.
It thrived for several years. Because it was off balance, it's back grew at an angle to compensate. It spent most of it's time in the water dish, and despite what I thought was a good setup, it eventually did drown.
So my suggestion is to use shallow water, with easy access.
