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.

just got a new water monitor..can i handle him?
just got him today...he is a baby..looks about 12" long...been hiding for most of the day..only comes out when i leave the room..when i come in and he sees me he automatically burrows underneath the aspen shavings (that seems to be his new hide place..that and the hide). Can i take him out n rub his head/neck, play with him a lil...to get him used to me? Or should i wait a bit longer? I was told to start feeding him the day after i get him..so ill wait for 2morrow on that..
thanks ;0)

Give him a few days to settle in. Then start by talking to him while you change the water or drop food in. Let him get used to seeing you without grabbing him and picking him up. The biggest part of getting a monitor to be calm is to let it learn to trust you. They are normally curious and will investigate when they don't feel threatened. Don't rush it.
As far as feeding goes, offer food but don't get discouraged if he doesn't eat right away.
Also, what is the temp in the basking spot, hot side, and cool side?
