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.

Beardie Not Drinking
Okay, my teacher got a beardie over the weekend, but it's not drinking. Knowing that I keep herps, he asked me if I could find out a solution. Sorry, this is really quick I'm a Gecko Guy, not beardie, and I don't know the parameters of the tank that it is in.
Thank you so much.

Hi there, how old is this dragon ? Babies need to drink more often than adults, but most dragons won't drink from a bowl. They do get some hydration from veggies like turnip, mustard, collard dandelion greens, which can be offered freshly washed so they're still wet. But you can also spray the dragon gently with a spray bottle on the tip of the nose, that will often get them to drink. Sometimes it takes 30 seconds or so before they sart licking. He can also put it in a shallow lukewarm bath , using a plastic bowl or bathroom sink [ they may poo in the water , dump it , clean the bowl or sink + fill again ] Always supervise a bath though. So you can dribble water on the dragon's head while in the bath + this usually gets them to drink. You can do that 2-3 times a week.

Thank you for responding, and yes, the beardie is kept in a classroom, but my teacher takes it home on the weekends. My teacher says that he lightly sprays the veggies (I told him when he was asking if anyone knew anything about beardies and I said to feed them mustard and collard dandelion greens for hydration) with water. However, my teacher has tried gently spraying the beardie's head, but to no avail. We don't know how old it is, but it is definately young, as it is about 5 to 6 inches long.
Again, thank you.
