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.

My first GTP
Hey, ever since my first reptile (ball python) I told myself if I got another snake I would get a GTP because they are so beautiful. 5 years and a few other reptiles later I have now just acquired a chondro. He is absolutely beautiful and I wanted to get other hobbyist's opinions on the animal and his enclosure. Obviously I did weeks of research before choosing an animal and acquiring it. He is CB and did not come with a local. The previous owner told me he is a "designer". Im not sure what I think go this because I didn't come across that term in my research. He is a yearling male and has a great temperament. I let him settle in for 3 days and then fed him. He ate with no hesitation and then I let him digest and handled him for the first time. I am using a 68 qt tub with sphagnum moss and silk plants. I have a thermostat and digital thermometer on the warm side and a digital thermometer/hygrometer on the cool side with all the conditions cycling great. Let me know what you think and I am also curious when I can build him a larger permanent home with some more aesthetic, custom aspects with out the space stressing him out. I actually obtained him from fauna classifieds and had a fairly good experience. On another note I have a breeding project with some very pedigree bearded dragons going on. Expecting hatchlings mid july if your interested!

When they say designer im pretty sure it means a cross between two locals, like a biak x aru

Thanks, I figured it was just a diluted bloodline for aesthetics instead of a pure local. I am not planning on breeding him (in any foreseeable future) so it really makes no difference to me, as long as the animal doesn't have an attitude. I still don't quite understand why local is so sought after. I know that they differ slightly in size and other qualities but I'm not sure why there is so much emphasis on it amongst breeders.

Because certain locales carry specific traits that are highly desired by some keepers. That is why the emphasis on locale. You may not notice it now, but I know i notice it in many species.
