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.

Question on weight?
Lately, I have noticed that my beardie has gotten skinny. So I started feeding him more, collared greens, meal worms, and crickets. He was getting fat, real fat. Then out of nowhere he goes to the bathroom back to back like 3 times and hes skinny again. It's like everything I feed him goes right through him and he doesnt gain an ounce. My lizard is almost a year old and hes just long and skinny. So I need some suggestions on how to bulk him up.
Thanks

Waxworms, superworms, and pinkies.
That should fatten him up. Everyone says that they are high in fat, so it might work.

I am no beardie expert, just to let you know ahead of time, I just have suggestions from other herp experience. Have you had him vet checked at all, it could be some sort of internal parasite or something along those lines.
Just trying to help,

I would get him checked out. It's possible he's got a problem like coccidia. Are his stool runny? A beardie 1 year old should have no problems gaining weight. Just throwing high fat foods at him isn't going to fix the problem. What kinds of greens are you feeding? Supplementation?
