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.
I don't know exactly how old my geckos are but I was wondering, what is considered "HEALTHY" for AGE compared to WEIGHT compared to LENGTH.
I guess my major concerne is if my babies are over or underweight. They look healthy and their tales are fat. However, like I said earlier, I am still new at this and don't have anything to compare it to.
I don't thinik there is any specific magical number, as each animal will be different. Generally, a healthy look is good for babies/juvies, since they won't have all the fat built up in the tail yet (although it should be getting fatter), and they're only overweight if you notice large fat pockets forming, which is unlikely in babies/juvies.
I used to have a bunch of data for my hatchings to about 3 months old but lost most of it during a database crash earlier this year, so I don't have my nice graphs for comparison anymore.
sucks about the crash Brian. i remember seeing one of your graphs. i wanted to keep better track of my stats so i was wondering what program i should use, what do u use?
I had actually used a mysql database (the same one that contains all the animal info on my website). I just exported to a comma-delimited file and imported into excel. So basically you could do the exact same things in excel.
That's an awesome link. I am surprised that there hasn't been a comprehensive survey yet. I don't even know how old my geckos are since a bought it from the oppresive and abusive national chain vendor. I didn't know how bad those animals had it until I was educated after the fact. My geckos tails are getting fatter and one looks like it's developing a double chin...
