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 about a rubbed nose
Hey everyone, I have a quick question.
I just noticed that one of my leopard geckos, the high yellow girl has a tiny red spot on her nose that looks like she has been rubbing it in her tank. What can I do to prevent future nose rubbing? I give my geckos a lot of attention-and she has a good size tank, and she is not in with any of my other geckos yet. she has a rock hide cave in her tank, and a rock water bowl. Is it possible she is rubbing her nose on one of those? Any animal I have ever heard of doing this rubbed on the cage. It is probably a dumb question, but like I said I am still fairly new to keeping reptiles. lol
thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi! Leos rub their faces all over everything in their cage when they start a shed. Sometimes if the shed is hard to get off, they can rub their noses sore. I'd say this is probably what happened. The sore spot should get better on its own in a day or two, so watch and be sure that it does. Also to make the shed come off easier from now on, give your leo a humid hide. If you're not sure what this is, just say so, and many of us will for sure give you the info.

how often do geckos shed?
she did shed about a week or so ago. I am assuming a humid hide is a hiding spot that has a higher humidity than the tank? how would you create one in the tank?

Young one's shed often , then adult seem to only do it around once a month.
It can vary if they gain or loose weight.
Humid hides are easy, cool whip containers work great so do some of the larger glad ones. just cut a hole in it and line it with paper towels or something like bedabeast and mist it with a sprayer every few days.
