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.

brain fart idea im thinking about sulcata winter housing
Thought id post up and see what everyone thought of the idea and get some tips pros and cons and such.
I have 3 sulcatas right now outside have 4 foot by 8 foot pins inside for each but its getting cramped. Heres the idea im working with. My home has a full basement never floods heater is down there so never any freezing or cold and been weather proofed. Im thinking about building a 12 by 24 tort table for my male and female sulcata and making it deep enough to where if they breed she can lay. I can run all my heat lights day time and night time. The air is dry. Whats everyones thoughts?
Should I run a fan to move the air around down there to keep it fresh? or should I scrap the idea? Thanks and imputs welcome

Does your basement have a vent?
Heat rises, and without proper ventilation it's going to turn into a jerky machine down there.

I keep my Egyptians in the basement in sand-filled kiddie pools in the winter, with properly timed uv and heat. I try to mimic the natural (shorter) daytime cycle. You definitely need good air circulation.
