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.

Anything to do besides put down?
I just had my first clutch a few weeks ago and all has been well except one baby. Somtimes it seems fine but many times it seems like it has paralysis and will walk with its head cocked at a wierd angle and many times it has its eyes closed while the others are chasing crickets. Other times it seems just fine. It is way smaller than the rest and I just don't know what I should be doing with it. When it is in normal mode it is eating/drinking just fine but when not he doesn't do much of anything. Any advice would be great.
Thanks,
Jeff

Well, if it isn't already, I would definitely separate this kiddo from the rest of the bunch so you can keep an eye on him, and mainly to decrease stress.
I don't think I would put it down quite yet from what I am hearing. As long as it's eating and drinking, urinating and defecating, and seems comfortable and able to get around without a huge problem, I would keep it at my own facility as a pet-only animal.

Maybe hypocalcemic? mix some powdered calcium with water then shoot into the back of its mouth with a dosing syringe,do a small amount every day, you should see positive results in around 2 weeks.make sure this dragon can bask under a fresh uvb bulb,the bulb must be at a distance no greater than 16" away 12" or less is better.quarantine away from the other babies.if you dont see any improvement you should consider culling...they all don't make it.

Will try this although I have been dusting crickets and he/she seems to eat ok. It is strange, sometimes it seems fine, other times it seems like it has a neurological problem. It is now about half the size of the others. I wouldn't even know how to euthanize one and hate to think that may be what will need to be done. I will definately give it more time before even considering it.
Thanks, Jeff
