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.

Jackson with parasites?
Hello, I had a concern about possible parasites. I purchased a female Jacksons Chameleon less than a week ago from an expo as a mate for my male. My male is in a large all screen cage with a waterfall, a dripper, uvb, a basking area, vines, the whole nine yards and is doing wonderful. The female just suddenly passed away tonight and when I went to get her out of the cage I noticed little bugs. They aren't mites and they weren't visable before she died. They seemed to be around her mouth and possibly coming out of it. Could they have been internal? They seem to jump almost like fleas. Her cage was next door to my males and I want to be safe and make sure he can't get whatever they are. Any help will be greatly appreciated! I have had my male since he was a baby and I don't want any harm to come to him.

Springtails??
I'm no expert when it comes to chameleons, but i do have crested geckos that might have a similar bug in their enclosure. Although i've never seen these bugs near the mouths of my animals, or on them, it may be the fact that these little bugs eat fungus/mold that develops in moist areas within the enclosure as to why they were drawn to your expired girl. :[ The bugs i have are called springtails. They are flightless gnats i believe. They are from what i have seen in my own enclosure, and online, that they are completely harmless to the reptile. They are actually helpful with the way they keep the tanks clean since they eat fecal matter and stop mold from developing, since they eat that as well.
I hope that i have at least given you an idea...of course you might have already known this, but i wasnt sure since there werent any updates. Look them up online and see if they resemeble what you had found. Goodluck!
